Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a group of rare cancers that originate from neuroendocrine cells found throughout the body. Common symptoms of NETs include flushing, diarrhea, wheezing, and abdominal pain. Treatment options for NETs include somatostatin analogs, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Somatostatin analogs help control the symptoms caused by hormones released by NETs. Targeted therapy drugs work by blocking specific molecules involved in tumor growth and spread.
