Hello @racb

I see that I am coming in a bit late to this discussion you started. I hope that your endoscopy on Thursday provides you with good feedback. In addition, to the questions that @colleenyoung suggested, I would also ask the doctor to let you know the Ki-67 value of the tumor.

Here is some information about the Ki-67 values and the information that it provides, https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/neuroendocrine-tumors/grades.

It is my understanding that even if the Ki67 value was not tested for on the original tumor, it can be tested after the fact on the slides when the tumor was removed.

I look forward to hearing from you again. When it's convenient for you, will you post after the endoscopy?
