Do salmon run theses rivers? Biking & salmon are the perfect petridish metaphors to finding NET solutions. Flowing, fast regular cadence. Great ears to help the hard yards, trying new flys, fishing different currents & learning a new cast that will enable one to cover new water.

Obrixtamig, a DLL3/CD3 IgG-like T-cell engager for SCLC and epNECs. Just out in JCO. Clearly efficacy in these hard-to-treat cancers and larger studies ongoing will hopefully confirm that.

#PrimaryCarePhysicians are the first to see NET patients when symptoms present. Among the repetitive diagnoses of common conditions, it is difficult to suspect the uncommon.
📌We help PCPs to detect NENs with a 60-minutes e-learning and a free CME credit.

6000 newly diagnosed NENs a year in England alone. ~ 16 a day, ~ 1 every 90 minutes. Not as rare as we keep being told they are. And these figures exclude some types. buff.ly/ffdMkp8

📌Dr. Grace Kong: “The future focus should be on performing more multicenter collaborative studies on NENs.”
