I have a rare neuroedocrine tumor in my breast. It is treated as "ordinary breast cancer" but I am wondering if anyone has another experience?

Hello @mir123 and welcome to Mayo Connect. You are correct that a NET in the breast is very rare. We do have a Connect member, @trixie1313 , who does have this diagnosis. You can find her discussion about this at

As with all rare cancers, it might be wise to seek an opinion from an oncologist who is a NET specialist. Mayo Clinic has NETs specialists at each of their three facilities (Arizona, Minnesota and Florida). Here's the link if interested http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. You can also find NET specialists at the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation website.

How long ago was this NET discovered? What type of treatments have been suggested?
