This month during ENETS 2026 we were delighted to bring together a new group of highly engaged early-career researchers from across Europe, representing a range of specialties. With the guidance of an experienced Scientific Committee, they began shaping collaborative projects in #NENs to advance knowledge and share insights across the field. A sincere thank you to everyone involved, we look forward to seeing these projects develop and to the collaborations ahead.

📣 Update from #ENETS2026 Experts share their views on the latest practice-changing data in #neuroendocrinecancer 📺 From Prof. Louis de Mestier, Prof. Timon Vandamme (@TimonV), & Dr Alice Durand The experts discuss: ➡️ Breakthrough results presented from the COMPETE study ➡️ Positive data from the DAREONᵀᴹ-7 trial ➡️ The interesting combination treatment of cabozantinib and temozolomide for NETs …and more!

Ph 1 DAREON-7: 1L obrixtamig with platinum doublet, DLL-3 + NEC; N=43, ORR 75%, Med PFS 7.7 mo. AEs manageable. Promising; phase 3 trial awaited; @TheChristieNHS . @Ja_Capdevila @ncukcharity @MCRCnews @ENETS_ORG

Great question! We don’t really know (yet). If low grade, good biology, I tend to continue. For high G2 or G3, clearly more aggressive disease- I stop (provided non-functional disease-as in no carcinoid syndrome). Two trials are looking at this- SAUNA and STOPNET. COMPETE trial actually did not continue SSAs in non functional tumors!

Good for pathologists to have a differential for SSTR+ tumors that are *not* neuroendocrine - fibrous dysplasia, FDC sarcoma, phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, and glomus tumor, just to name a few #BSTpath

SSTR+ incidentalomas, they certainly are real! Interesting study by @TimonV and others. Almost 2000 SSTR PET scans. 13.2% with SSTR+ incidentaloma but only 6% malignant. Much similar to my experience, thyroid, brain (meningioma) and prostate most common. erc.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/…

Op donderdag 2 oktober waren wij aanwezig bij het DBnets congres. Tijdens dit congres delen Belgische en Nederlandse specialisten van de kenniscentra hun ervaringen, onderzoeken en casuïstiek met elkaar. Zoals gebruikelijk mochten de Belgische en Nederlandse patiëntenorganisaties

Clinical advancements against NETs need sound preclinical research. Just hot off the press: White paper on best practices for translational research in neuroendocrine neoplasms Great collaboration led by the ENETS Basic and Translational Research Group! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn…

Our new editorial published in @JNCI_Now where we discuss how to improve the success rates of phase 3 oncology trials. Led by the brilliant @lateuwen who is soon visiting my unit @queensu @QueensuSCRI for a short-term fellowship. academic.oup.com/jnci/advance-a…

Obrixtamig, a DLL3/CD3 IgG-like T-cell engager for SCLC and epNECs. Just out in JCO. Clearly efficacy in these hard-to-treat cancers and larger studies ongoing will hopefully confirm that. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

ctDNA Detection in Cancer: A Comprehensive Overview of Current Detection Methods and Prospects #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">academic.oup.com/oncolo/advance… Review explores the evolving role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)🧬 as a minimally invasive biomarker in oncology, highlighting how different detection methods—ranging from sensitive, cost-effective PCR-based assays to more comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques—can be selected based on clinical need. It also discusses emerging technologies like third-generation sequencing and fragmentomics, emphasizing the increasing complexity and potential of ctDNA analysis to enhance cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and personalized treatment. @TimonV @PLaurentPuig

🚨If interested in translational research in neuroendocrine neoplasms this paper is of interest to you. Major effort at international level of different researchers involved in @ENETS_ORG @TalyaDayton @cives_mauro @ilamarinoni @TimonV @GrupoGetne

Thank you @MediMix for inviting me to discuss with @WLybaert the #SIERRA study of #STRIDE for patients with #HCC and poorer liver function or ECOG PS 2 or main portal vein thrombosis. #ESMOGI2025 #immunotherapy #tremelimumab #durvalumab @HUNIMED @HumanitasMilano

🧬 Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a powerful, minimally invasive biomarker in oncology.This review unpacks the evolving ctDNA landscape for better patient care. @OncJournal 🔍 PCR: Sensitive & cost-effective, but limited scope 🧪 NGS: Broad profiling & actionable insights 🧬
