"Multidisciplinary Approach to Neuroendocrine Tumors"
Dear friends and colleagues, It is my great pleasure and honor to invite you to attend our 7th conference on HPB Surgery which is to be held in Ahmedabad on 20th September 2015. The theme of this meeting is "Multidisciplinary Approach to Neuroendocrine Tumors". This event is organized by Gujarat Liver and Digestive surgery Clinic (GLDC) and Gujarat Liver Cancer Clinic (GLCC) in association with Sterling Hospitals.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) present a diverse group of malignancies considered to be rare, but recent data are indicating a significant increase in both incidence and prevalence during the last few decades. Successful management requires an understanding of the disease process as a whole and a multi-modality approach with contributions from medical oncology, surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, pathology, interventional and diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and genetics. Recent advances in imaging and surgical techniques along with emerging options in systemic therapies have improved the outlook in this cancer. The management in a multidisciplinary environment would become central to achieving optimal outcomes in this group of patients.
