Wondering if anyone has heard about monoclonal antibody treatments and if they have been tried on NET’s?

Hello @bnjncrew

Your question about monoclonal antibody treatments is an interesting one. I found some information on this type of cancer treatment on Mayo Clinic's website. Here is the link to that information,
--Monoclonal Antibody
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/monoclonal-antibody/art-20047808
While the article above does not answer the question of whether or not it will help with NETS you can read under the heading "Questions to Ask Your Health Care Team" ideas about testing the cancer cells to see if this treatment would work. At the end of this article there is also information about being involved in clinical trials. A clinical trial might be helpful because this is reported to be a very expensive treatment.

Have you talked with your oncology team about this treatment? If so, I'd be interested in what they have to say.
