Patient Information Booklet
This booklet has been developed to provide information about neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) for patients and their families.
If there is any information in the guide that you do not understand please discuss it with a member of your medical team. Further or more detailed information about your type of neuroendocrine cancer may also be available so please do not hesitate to ask for this as well.
We hope this guide will be a helpful and informative resource throughout the coming weeks, months and years.
If you would like to receive a hard copy to your home or work address by post, please send us an email with your NZ mailing address; contact us
This nutrition toolkit was developed to assist patients with NETs to self manage symptoms, and urinary tests at home. This guide is intended to provide patients with general nutrition tips. For more personalised nutrition advice please contact a dietitian.
