Dr. Jennifer Chan & Dr. Del Rivero Discuss Advancing NET Research at the 2025 INCA Summit

Описание: In this insightful conversation from the 2025 INCA Summit in Sofia, Bulgaria, leading neuroendocrine cancer experts Dr. Jennifer Chan (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, USA) and Dr. Jaydira Del Rivero (National Cancer Institute, NIH) discuss the future of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) research, emphasizing the importance of clinical trials, patient engagement, and international collaboration.

Dr. Del Rivero highlights the mission of INCA’s research committee—to align scientific priorities with patient needs, ensure greater patient participation in research, and develop better models and biomarkers for understanding and treating NETs. She explains the range of clinical research, from translational and molecular studies to natural history, prevention, and treatment trials, and how each contributes to improving diagnosis, therapy, and quality of life for patients.

Dr. Chan underscores the vital role of patients as partners in research, helping shape meaningful endpoints and driving practice-changing discoveries like the CABINET trial, which recently led to new treatment approvals for neuroendocrine cancers.
