NETWise Episode 3: Surgical Treatments and Interventional Radiology for NETS.
In this episode of NETRF’s NETWise podcast, we discuss two common treatments for neuroendocrine tumors--surgery and interventional radiology.
- SURGERY -
NET surgeons describe the most common surgical procedures, including:
• “Debulking”
• Whipple procedure for pancreas
• Endoscopy
• Minimally invasive surgery for the small bowel
• Lung surgery
- INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY -
NET experts also cover all the information you need to know about interventional radiology (IR) for NETs.
• Bland embolization
• Chemoembolization
• Radioembolization
• Radiofrequency ablation
Finally, two patients add their surgery experiences to the podcast as they talk about their decisions to have surgery and their respective recoveries.
