Dr. James Howe Elected Chair of NANETS
A Note from Dr. James Howe, Chair of NANETS
Dear NANETS Colleagues and Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to write, having recently returned from a very successful NANETS Annual Symposium. Over the course of three days, more than 450 physicians, researchers and allied health care providers from throughout North America and around the world convened in Seattle, Washington to learn about NET disease. Attendees took part in over 20 sessions covering areas from NET patient diagnosis and treatment to NET research and supportive care.
As NANETS' new Chair, I am excited for what the future holds for our organization and the strides we are making in the fight against neuroendocrine tumors. This past symposium set a number of records: 110 abstract posters were presented from 11 countries. Fifteen oral abstract presentations were made including three from ENETS (European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society) Young Investigators.
