NET Cancer Day is an annual event held on the 10th of November, created to increase awareness of neuroendocrine cancers (NETs) and to provide a voice to the NET community for improved diagnostics, treatments, information, care and research. NET Cancer Day is about drawing attention to this uncommon form of cancer and starting a global conversation amongst communities, medical professionals and governments – #LetsTalkAboutNETs.
On November 10, INCA members, which includes 37 member organizations worldwide including Pheo Para Alliance, share on social media to increase awareness about this often misdiagnosed form of cancer.
Annually, NET Cancer Day profiles stories of patients from around the world. Representing the pheo para community is Sandra, read her story here. In honor of NET Cancer Day, we invite you to share Sandra’s story, or even better, your own! It might save someone’s life.
Coordinated by the International Neuroendocrine Cancer Alliance (INCA). INCA is the global voice for patients with neuroendocrine cancer and genetic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and their careers with a mission to: raise awareness about all types of NETs; push for scientific advancements with a focus on identified unmet needs; and to provide a platform for global collaboration to address the many challenges NET patients and the medical community face, in securing a timely diagnosis and accessing optimal treatment, support and care.
