Assessment of major gaps from the perspective of patients, patient advocates and NET health care professionals.
Due to the increasing incidence and prevalence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), there is a need to assess any gaps in awareness and care. A survey was undertaken in 2017 to identify perceived unmet needs from the perspectives of patients/families, patient advocates and health care professionals (HCPs). The survey consisted of 33–37 questions (depending on type of respondent) across four areas: information, care, treatments and research.
