Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Q&A with a NETs Expert

I watched a couple videos with Dr Liu. As I recall he very much favors doing surgery whenever possible. When in doubt cut it out. He believes that even if not curative surgery improves survival time. He’s also skeptical of benign NETs, which he says often become metastatic.

My personal take is that Yes, for him cutting it out is the first line of treatment. He also is diligent in waiting to see (with close monitoring) if that is the best route He is also compassionate and competent when he would like to cut it out, but the body is too frail. Then he works hard to give quality of life and as much quantity as possible using "The right tool at the right time"
