VirtualEvent Details:
Hear the latest in the treatment of GI, lung, and pheo-para NETs
Could I feel better? If you’ve been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and have asked yourself this question, please join us for a very special program. On March 11, Penn Medicine will bring together more than 30 experts in neuro-endocrine tumors to share updates and answer your questions.
Afternoon breakout sessions will offer attendees the opportunity to be in a virtual room with a multidisciplinary team of doctors and nurses who treat either GEP NETs (GI), lung carcinoids, or pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (Pheo-Para) NETs. Bring your questions or just plan to listen.
The meeting will also feature practical and scientific talks on key topics. This annual event is intended for people who are newly diagnosed with NETs, currently in treatment, or long-term survivors. Caregivers and family members are welcome as well.
