Thanks for the prompt reply kim1965. I appreciate the additional information and will definitely discuss with my care team the possible use of CAP/TEM. I still did not understand what the term meant and interestingly the NIH Dictionary of Cancer Terms showed "no result" for "CAP/TEM." But with a bit more searching I now understand this is short for "capecitabine and temozolomide" and I was able to find a clinical study applying this therapy with good results to patients with NETs that had metastasized to the liver. Can you tell me, what does the term "Mtn. Function" mean? As you can tell I'm still not familiar with all the terminology related to NETs. Thanks again for your help!
