NET cancers are difficult to detectNET cancers are usually slow-growing tumors that are derived from the diffuse neuroendocrine system. They are found most commonly in the gastrointestinal system and lung, but they can also originate in other parts of the body such as the pancreas, ovary, and testes, among other sites.

NET Cancer Awareness
