Professor Eva Tiensuu Janson, Professor of Medicine, Uppsala University Hospital the current ENETS chair, talks to the INCA membership about the need to improve the understanding of neuroendocrine cancer and collaborative awareness pathways we should be taking.
It was a privilege to spend time face to face/and virtually with some remarkable people under the umbrella of the International Neuroendocrine Cancer Alliance Summit. Stories were shared, opportunities discussed and challenges debated, but the take home feeling was one of collaboration and a strong spirit – to be a global voice, working nationally to support anyone affected by Neuroendocrine Cancers and Genetic Neuroendocrine Tumours/Syndromes.
