5.3 Research and clinical trials

Comparative data from randomised controlled trials are lacking in NETs. Therefore, treatment decisions are based on phase II trial data and patient/physician preferences. However, increasing active research and prospective trials are becoming available.

Support cancer survivors to participate in research or clinical trials where they are available and appropriate. These might include studies to understand survivors’ issues, to better manage treatment side effects, or to improve models of care and quality of life.
