From diagnosis and hormone assessment to surgery, targeted treatment, PRRT and long-term follow-up, experience care that considers your strength, nutrition, digestive health, hormonal symptoms and overall wellbeing.
A diagnosis can bring many questions at once. Let us begin with the basics.
Neuroendocrine tumours, called NETs, develop from specialised neuroendocrine cells that receive signals from the nervous system and release hormones or hormone-like substances. NETs can begin in the digestive tract, pancreas, lungs, thymus and other organs. Some are well-differentiated tumours that may grow slowly or more aggressively depending on grade, while poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are high-grade cancers that grow rapidly. Some tumours contain both neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine cancer components. A NET may be functioning and produce hormones that cause symptoms, or nonfunctioning without a recognised hormone syndrome. Diagnosis may involve blood or urine tests, imaging, biopsy and somatostatin-receptor imaging.
Treatment depends on the primary site, differentiation, grade, Ki-67 index, hormone production, somatostatin-receptor expression, growth rate and extent of spread.
Surgery offers the best chance of cure for many localised, removable NETs. Depending on the site, treatment may involve endoscopic removal, bowel surgery, pancreatic surgery, lung resection or regional lymph-node removal. Some small, superficial stomach or rectal NETs may be treated endoscopically.
Medicines such as octreotide and lanreotide may help control flushing and diarrhoea caused by carcinoid syndrome and may slow the growth of some well-differentiated, somatostatin-receptor-positive NETs.
PRRT delivers radiation directly to tumour cells that carry somatostatin receptors. Lutetium-177 dotatate may be considered for eligible well-differentiated, somatostatin-receptor-positive, unresectable or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Treatment requires appropriate kidney and bone-marrow function and specialist nuclear-medicine supervision.
Depending on the tumour type, options may include everolimus, sunitinib, cabozantinib, chemotherapy or liver-directed treatment. Poorly differentiated NEC is treated differently from a well-differentiated NET and commonly receives platinum plus etoposide chemotherapy.
Treatment depends on the primary site, differentiation, grade, Ki-67 index, hormone production, somatostatin-receptor expression, growth rate and extent of spread.
Cancer Healer Therapy (CAM) is supportive integrative care used alongside treatment prescribed by your NET and oncology team, not instead of it.
The supportive plan may consider appetite, fatigue, sleep, digestive comfort, strength, emotional wellbeing and recovery during treatment.
Herbal products and supplements may interact with somatostatin analogues, targeted medicines, chemotherapy, blood thinners, diabetes treatment and surgical medicines.
Support may begin before surgery, PRRT or systemic treatment, with attention to hormonal symptoms, hydration, nutrition, blood sugar, electrolytes, kidney and liver function and current medicines.
Supportive care may focus on fatigue, appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, flushing, malabsorption, sleep and treatment-related discomfort.
Supportive care should not delay biopsy, hormone testing, imaging, surgery, somatostatin analogues, PRRT, targeted therapy, chemotherapy or treatment of severe hormone syndromes.
Cancer Healer Therapy does not replace surgery, PRRT, systemic treatment, liver-directed procedures or medical management of hormone syndromes.
Some NETs produce hormones that cause specific symptoms, while others do not. The tumour type, primary site, grade and biological behaviour help the medical team determine appropriate investigations and treatment.
There is no single Stage I to IV system that applies identically to every neuroendocrine tumour because staging depends on where the tumour begins.
Your oncologist determines the formal stage using tumour-specific staging criteria. Cancer Healer Therapy (CAM) is designed as supportive care alongside prescribed treatment across different stages of the disease.
Symptoms vary depending on the tumour’s location, size and whether it produces hormones. Possible signs and symptoms include:
Here’s exactly what happens from your first conversation with us to ongoing support during treatment.
We discuss your pathology, scans, hormonal symptoms and current or planned treatment.
The team reviews the primary site, differentiation, grade, Ki-67 index, functioning status, stage, receptor imaging, metastases and treatment recommendations.
Supportive care is developed around the treatment or surveillance plan recommended by your NET team.
Herbal products, supplements and special diets should be disclosed to the treating doctor.
Support may be reviewed according to symptoms, blood tests, nutrition and treatment effects.
One point of contact supports appointments and follow-up communication.

My brother takeing the treatment at cancer healer center last six months, the pet scan report was came good result, center fellow up was very good
No. Some well-differentiated NETs grow slowly, while poorly differentiated NECs are high-grade cancers that usually behave more aggressively.
Not exactly. Carcinoid is an older term mainly used for certain well-differentiated gastrointestinal and lung NETs.
No. Functioning NETs cause a recognised hormone syndrome, while nonfunctioning NETs do not.
Ki-67 estimates how many tumour cells are actively dividing and helps determine grade. It must be interpreted together with tumour differentiation and site.
It is a nuclear-medicine scan that detects somatostatin receptors on NET cells and can help stage disease and assess potential suitability for PRRT.
PRRT uses a radioactive medicine that binds to somatostatin receptors and delivers radiation directly to eligible tumour cells.
It is a hormone-related syndrome that can cause flushing, diarrhoea, abdominal cramping and wheezing. Long-standing disease can affect heart valves.
It is a rare, potentially life-threatening hormone release causing severe flushing, blood-pressure changes, bronchospasm, abnormal heart rhythm or collapse.
No. It is supportive integrative care and should not replace or delay tumour-directed treatment or management of hormone syndromes.
Only after every product has been reviewed by your oncologist, endocrinologist or oncology pharmacist. Supplements may affect hormones, blood sugar, blood pressure, organ function or cancer-medicine levels.
