NETWise Episode 3: Surgical Treatments and Interventional Radiology for NETS.

In this episode of NETRF’s NETWise podcast, we discuss two common neuroendocrine tumor treatments: surgery and interventional radiology. Treatment, like surgery and interventional radiology, can reduce the number and size of NETs as well as reduce some of the symptoms caused by tumors.Did you know that almost 70% of NET patients have surgery? In this episode, NET surgeons describe surgical procedures like “debulking” and the Whipple procedure. We also hear how endoscopies are used to treat NETs. You will also learn more about “multi-focal primaries” in the small bowel and how surgeons can employ minimally invasive surgical techniques to “run the small bowel.” We also speak with an expert in thoracic surgery about several surgical options for lung NETs.We will explain enucleation surgery and talk more about all the surgery jargon you often hear and what it means for patients. NETWise covers all the information you need to know about interventional radiology (IR) for NETs. We describe bland embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization, and radiofrequency ablation.
