Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine Tumors

Event Overview
|
|
Carcinoid / NET 2005 took place on September 22nd through 24th at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Philadelphia.
The conference was geared towards patients and their families, focusing on diagnosis and management
of carcinoid and other neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Carcinoid is often called a rare disease. Well, it's not that rare when you consider that nearly
8,000 cases of carcinoid tumors are diagnosed each year in the United States, and another 1,200 in the UK.
Worldwide there are more than ten thousand such cases diagnosed annually; and because of better diagnostic
techniques and greater awareness - even more are diagnosed each year. More attention and earlier recognition
has improved patient prospects. Today there are a number of treatment options available to patients, some
of which can potentially result in carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors being managed as a chronic rather
than terminal illness.
This conference was organized to make patients and caregivers aware of the most recent medical information
concerning diagnosis and management of their tumors. Like past annual carcinoid conference events, the speakers
include many of the medical industry's leading experts on carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors. The conference
recordings (listed below) extend the reach of their insights to a worldwide audience.
Such conferences are also a chance for attendees to reconnect and share personal experiences. As shown in
these photographs, the conference was well attended and a much appreciated by the carcinoid / NET community.
