Show Notes
Neuroendocrine Tumours could be described as an impassable obstacle, more complicated the more you research. That's where Michael and Josh come in, and this week, explore Grade 3 metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. Michael provides a brilliant overview of this well-differentiated cohort and the lack of efficacy platinum chemotherapies have, while Josh discusses CAPTEM (temozolomide and capecitabine) through a systematic review. Interestingly many of the current data is retrospectively collected, highlighting how challenging it is to collect enough patients to pursue meaningful research.
Note- there is a quote from Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his titles due to illegal doping (which we do not endorse); he did start the Livestrong Foundation to support those affected by cancer.
