Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms whose incidence has increased significantly in recent years, and whose optimal management remains controversial. We report the latest innovations in their management, in particular the results of three trials concerning the use of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, everolimus, in non-functional NETs of lung/gastrointestinal (GI) origin, the first randomised trial of radiolabelled177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with mid-gut NETs, and the use of the 5-HT synthesis inhibitor, telotristat etiprate, in patients with the carcinoid syndrome.Keywords
