Carcinoid NeuroEndocrine International Conference
and Symposium for Medical Professionals and Patients
 |
Overview of the Event


|
 |
On 13-16 May 2010 the Carcinoid NeuroEndocrine Tumour Society Canada (CNETS Canada) held the latest in
its series of conferences for medical professionals and patients.
This one took place at the Coast Plaza Hotel and Suites in Vancouver, British Columbia. The
weather was beautiful.
The programme included a sterling lineup of specialist neuroendocrine
physicians from several countries, including: Canada, Ireland, Holland, Sweden, UK and USA. In terms
of the number of speakers and scope of material presented, it was the
largest international carcinoid cancer and neuroendocrine tumour conference ever held in Canada.
The theme of the conference was: "Neuroendocrine Cancers: Networks of Expertise".
Topics covered during the conference included the importance of clinical trials and their
relevance for GI neuroendocrine tumors, interventional radiology, the genetics of NETs, treatments
such as PRRT and LU 177, what's new in NETs research, and circulating markers and prognostic
indicators for NETs (neuroendocrine tumors). Guidelines for the management of neuroendocrine
tumors were presented by delegates from of the major carcinoid/NET medical societies:
NANETS (North America), ENETS (Europe), UKINETS (United Kingdom and Ireland) and from a
Canadian National Expert Group.
This 3-day event was attended by some 250 patients and medical professionals. They enjoyed the
excellent technical preparations, which included two projection screens, a raised stage,
theatrical lighting, crystal-clear audio amplification and a dramatic stage backdrop.
After the plenary sessions, they were treated to a dinner buffet, music performances and a
silent auction. Physicians in attendance received continuing medical education (CME)
credits.
Below you will find a list of recordings produced during the event.
