NET preceptorship
Peter Mac NET Preceptorship occurs once every 2 years, which comprises of clinical problem-based lectures from relevant specialists on all aspects of the multidisciplinary management of NET: 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 aims to emphasize the current standards, and common dilemmas, of the individualised management for NET patients. It will focus on treatment approaches based on disease biology and disease extent and the requirement for a multidisciplinary management plan.
