This video highlights Neuroendocrine Tumor prognostic factors in easy to understand language and drawings. This Neuroendocrine Tumor Lecture focuses on understanding the Neuroendocrine Tumor Grade and Neuroendocrine Tumor Differentiation. These two are the key markers in determining long-term survival and likely treatment options. Other important factors that determine good outcomes for Neuroendocrine Tumor Survivors are also discussed in detail.

The viewer will get a sound understanding of concepts such as Neuroendocrine Tumor Grade 1 and how this correlates with tumor behaviour and with Differentiation (Well, Moderate and Poor).

This video forms part of a series of videos on Neuroendocrine Tumors.

    Thank you for posting this. I have the NET in my lungs and in the mediastinal lymph node and its metastized to liver and small intestine and pancreatic area .....Stage 4 Grade level 1...K67 <5%

    I have carcinoid syndrome symptomes everyday now. Wondering if I have a chance as it seems to be really advanced.

    It might be a silly question, but, how does one impact survival rate if the tumour is removed, it was net g2 in the appendix, stage 3.

    I have neuroendocrine breast cancer stage 1 but grade 3 poorly differentiated. er+ pr+ her2-. After lumpectomy, they told me they remove all cancer, lymp nodes negative, margins very good. I'm 72 years old all scans (chest/bone/brain) no metastasis. Need to do 4 rounds strong chemo, then 12 weeks less strong chemo, afterwards 3 weeks radiation plus 1 week booster (radiation) and hormones therapy. Oncologist told me that if I don't do any treatments, i have 80% chance of recurrence. Do you think its worth it at my age with all side effects, do I have a chance for survival?
