NET patient UK

Building towards a cure for Neuroendocrine Tumours and Cancers through Research, Education, Awareness and Support.

To raise the awareness of NeuroEndocrineTumours (NETs) among patients, the general public, and the medical and the research communities by:

(a) providing well-informed support on management and treatment options to all those involved with NETs; and

(b) supporting NET-directed research and better clinical management practices that will achieve an ultimate goal of early accurate diagnosis and best possible treatment for NET patients

Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day (WNCAD) website launched

The Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day (WNCAD) website has now been launched.

This site lets you know a great deal including what different countries are doing to promote and celebrate Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day. In Canada we are planning to have information tables in hospitals complete with the proclamation for visitors to sign as well as having basic diagnosis and treatment plus CNETS Canada information available.

We will also have an advance campaign in regard to telling our Premiers, Health Ministers, Cancer Agencies, and key Civil Servants about the day. Press kits will shortly be available on the WNCAD site as well as information materials.

In the US the Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Network, the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, and the North American Neuroendocrine Tumour Society have started to contact State Governors about proclaiming November 10, 2010 Worldwide NET Cancer Day! CNETS Canada has Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day (WNCAD) pins available in French and English complete with an attached English or French card.

We plan to have the pins available in November in hospitals where we have tables set up.
