  • A neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a cancerous tumor that begins in the specialized cells of the body’s neuroendocrine system. These cells have traits of both hormone-producing endocrine cells and nerve cells. In this video, Dr. Pamela Kunz explains the basics of NETs, including staging, grading, and treatment options.

    I had one removed from my lower colon during my first colonscopy. I wasn't diagnosed "with cancer," and never got "the talk," just diagnosed with a NET. Not even sure of stage. So I assumed I didn't "have cancer," but I am not sure. They checked 6 months later and it hadn't come back. Doesn't mean it won't.

      No, no MRI. I'm supposed to go back for another colonoscopy later this year though. It's a bit unnerving not knowing if there's another one forming somewhere else.

      Well she wasn't able to get it all out. She just took a biopsy and that is what it turned out to be. I went to a colon surgeon, he said this grows in the middle layer and recommend a full piece of the tumor removed and then for it to be sewed back. Can I get your email and we can talk thanks
