NET Patient Foundation Research Abstracts
NPF and NCRAS Public Health England partnership project has been compiling statistics on the incidence, prevalence and survival of NET patients in England using English cancer registry data, with an aim to also access Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish cancer registry data to also get UK wide statistics.
We carried out four pieces of research in 2017, abstracts for which can be found below:
- The Incidence and Prevalence of Neuroendocrine Tumours in England.
- The 1- year survival rates for Neuroendocrine tumour patients in England.
- Metachronus primary cancers in Neuroendocrine tumour patients.
- Neuroendocrine Tumour patients experiences of support in the community setting across the treatment trajectory.
