@gig666 , Someone from the NETs group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/) may be better equip to answer your question about the difference in terminology. I did find this article, referring to a change in approach to naming the cancers. My non-clinical interpretation, I would think they are the same. You may want to check with your oncologist to be sure.
