Overview & Learning Objectives
Overview

Many patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NET), including gastroenteropancreatic NET (GEP-NET), experience delayed diagnosis,1-3 which is associated with stress and burnout – psychological symptoms that can compromise quality of life.3 More advanced (e.g. unresectable or metastatic) disease at diagnosis may result in reduced therapeutic options and worse survival outcomes.4,5

Learning Objectives

After watching this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Recognise the potential impact of GEP-NET on patients’ personal and working lives1,2
  • Recall key unmet needs for patients with GEP-NET1,2
  • Understand the importance of early diagnosis for patients with GEP-NET2,3
