➡️ Register at ncf.net/events/mar2026 Join us for a discussion of targeted therapies in neuroendocrine cancer, one of the fastest-growing areas of NET treatment. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapies focus on specific pathways or features of cancer cells. Understanding how these treatments work can help patients feel more confident and informed when discussing options with their care team. In this session, Dr. Rohit Thummalapalli, medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, explores novel, innovative targeted treatments used or being studied in NETs, such as DLL3 and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). Dr. Thummalapalli will explain what these therapies are, how they work, and why they are becoming increasingly important in NET care. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or considering later-line treatments, this webinar will help you better understand the evolving landscape of targeted therapy and what it may mean for your care. #NeuroendocrineCancer #NETCancer #TargetedTherapy #cancereducation #cancerresearch #ncfcancer #NeuroendocrineTumor

Today, we honor a 60-year legacy — and look ahead with purpose. After nearly 60 years of service, the @CarcinoidNETs (CCF), founded by Dr. Richard R.P. Warner, has announced it is closing operations. We are honored that the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation (NCF) was chosen as CCF’s successor organization. Over the past two years, NCF has worked closely alongside CCF to ensure continuity of support. 💙What This Means for Our Community: 🧡A new, unified Neuroendocrine Cancer Provider Directory — developed in partnership with the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF) — will launch later this year to help patients connect with experienced providers 🧡The Patient Support Line will continue 🧡Luncheon with the Experts (LWTE) webinars will continue 🧡Stories of Hope will continue to amplify patient and caregiver voices We are deeply grateful to CCF and to Keith Warner and @GraceGoldstein for their decades of leadership, service, and unwavering dedication to the NET community. Their confidence in NCF is something we do not take lightly. Our commitment remains clear: no one facing neuroendocrine cancer should feel alone. We will continue building on this legacy with trusted education, compassionate support, and meaningful connection. — The NCF Team #NeuroendocrineCancer #NETCancer #ContinuingTheLegacy #PatientSupport #cancercommunity #NeuroendocrineTumor #netawareness

🖥️ Watch "Hope on the Horizon for 2026" At GI ASCO in San Francisco, Lisa Yen, Director of Programs and Outreach for the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation, sits down with leading neuroendocrine cancer experts Dr. Garima Gupta (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and @AmanChauhanMD (UCSF) to discuss what they are most excited about on the horizon in 2026. In this conversation, Drs. Gupta and Chauhan share their enthusiasm for several potentially practice-changing clinical trials and emerging therapies, including: - New formulations of somatostatin analogs, such as oral options, are being studied for carcinoid syndrome - The NET RETREAT trial, exploring retreatment with PRRT for patients who previously benefited from this game-changing therapy - Advances in DLL3-targeted therapies, including BiTEs, antibody-drug conjugates, and radiopharmaceuticals for high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas - The STELLAR-311 trial, investigating the novel agent zanzalintinib in neuroendocrine tumors across multiple primary sites The discussion highlights progress across the full spectrum of neuroendocrine neoplasms—from low-grade to high-grade disease—and underscores the growing momentum in a field with significant unmet needs. Thank you to the physician-scientists and researchers driving innovation and hope for the neuroendocrine cancer community. #NeuroendocrineCancer #NeuroendocrineTumor #NETCancer #neuroendocrinecancerawareness #hope

💟 "The email that changed everything." After being diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor, Dusty felt scared, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. One of the first emails she received from NCF said, “You are not alone. We are here to help.” That message became the start of community, education, and empowerment.
