Archived Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Management of Well-Differentiated Grade 3 Neuroendocrine Tumors

The introduction of well-differentiated Grade 3 (G3) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the WHO classification for the digestive system (gastroenteropancreatic) neuroendocrine neoplasms is relatively new. It is important to inform clinicians about this new section of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) Neuroendocrine and Adrenal Tumors, which include recommendations for the evaluation, management, and surveillance of well-differentiated G3 NETs. Keeping clinicians abreast of updated treatment options may help improve clinical decision-making to better address patients’ medical needs.

Target Audience

This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.

  • Describe the WHO criteria for well-differentiated grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
