More Treatments, Better Decisions

This has been a huge year for the NET community! NET research has been accelerating, creating many options for treatments. This full-day event offers an opportunity to hear many experts all in one location and learn about the latest treatment options for patients. Join LACNETS at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a full-day event featuring renowned Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) specialists.

This year's educational sessions will include several presentations on PRRT (Lutathera®) as well as NETSPOT® (GA-68 Scan), Symptom Management, Carcinoid Syndrome, Surgery, Liver-directed Treatments, Pathology, and Clinical Trials. Learn from the physician panel as they discuss NET case studies to show how they make treatment sequencing decisions.

This conference also allows patients and caregivers to connect with other NET patients and caregivers. It provides a rare opportunity to speak with physicians and experts directly through Q&A sessions and lunch round-table discussions.
