Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors and DIPNECH

Up to a quarter of all neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate in the lung. Neuroendocrine cancer expert Robert Ramirez, DO, FACP, describes the four types of lung neuroendocrine tumors, common respiratory symptoms, misdiagnoses, treatment options, and DIPNECH (diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia). Dr. Ramirez’s patient, Paige, experienced debilitating fatigue for months before being diagnosed with a lung NET. She emphasizes the importance of seeing NET specialists for this uncommon cancer. And hear from oncology nurse navigator Pamela Ryan, who has worked with the NET community for 15 years, about the advances she’s seen in NET imaging and treatments, and her hopes for the future.

Hi, you are absolutely correct about the need for further research and the need to be careful during the pandemic. The cruise was an example of what people have asked about in the past. There is always a need for further research in NETs and we are seeing more and more research now compared to even 10 years ago. We remain optimistic that research will continue to expand in the years to come.
