Events

The 2025 NET Preceptorship will occur over one and half days at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in Melbourne. It will comprise of clinical problem-based lectures from relevant specialists on all aspects of the individualized multidisciplinary management of neuroendocrine tumours: from diagnosis, imaging, surgery, and medical therapy (medical oncology, endocrinology, nuclear medicine) and nursing. This will be based on our Unit’s extensive experience and treatment guidelines. 

The meeting content is purely under the direct control of the Peter MacCallum Neuroendocrine Unit. The aims of the meeting are to emphasize the current standards, and common dilemmas, of management for patients with neuroendocrine tumours. It will focus on their considerable heterogeneity in terms of tumour biology of these tumours. The meeting will also emphasize the need for an individualized treatment approach based on disease biology and disease extent and the requirement for a multidisciplinary management plan. The meeting in this regard thus clearly provides the attending clinicians the practical knowledge base of neuroendocrine tumour management hence leading to the increased patient benefit. In addition to the quality of use of currently available therapeutic agents in this disease.
