Fostering collaboration and leading-edge innovations in the treatment of this uncommon cancer
BOSTON - BostonChron -- The Margie & Robert E. Petersen Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Symposium was held October 28-30 at The Hotel Commonwealth in Boston, Massachusetts. Organized by the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF) the Symposium attracted over 120 researchers from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in neuroendocrine cancer research. The annual event plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific knowledge, promoting innovation and translating these studies into practical therapies for patients with this often-misdiagnosed disease.
"NETRF is proud of the strength of our scientific network which has resulted in 88 new collaborations, 22 clinical trials and projects, and 8 patents for new technology," says Elyse Gellerman, Chief Executive Officer for NETRF. "NETRF events like this enrich the scientific community… and even more importantly they result in trials, treatments and potential cures for neuroendocrine cancer."

More on Boston Chron
This session highlighted the use of genomic and molecular tools to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), which include neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs).
a. Dr. Aatur Singhi discussed how genomic profiling reveals critical diagnostic and prognostic markers for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
b. Dr. Nicolas Alcala discussed better methods to classify lung neuroendocrine tumors and emerging diagnostic criteria.
c. Dr. Allison Stewart presented strategies to target drug-resistant cells in high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas, which are especially prone to relapse.
The Margie and Robert E. Petersen Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Symposium is NETRF's premier event to create a collaborative environment which empowers researchers to exchange ideas and collectively work towards breakthroughs that have the potential to transform the landscape of NET research.
