2016 ENETS Consensus Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors

everal guidelines and standards of care on the management of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have been published by expert national and international groups in recent years; additional changes in how these patients are managed are evolving rapidly, and since the last European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) Guidelines in 2011/12, new important data have become available pertaining to novel diagnostic tools and therapies.
