Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day Proclamation

Whereas	neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often develop into cancer and, if left untreated, can result in serious illness and death; and
Whereas	all too often healthcare professionals underestimate the malignant and metastatic potential of neuroendocrine tumors; and
Whereas	NET cancer patients are often misdiagnosed or receive a delayed diagnosis, which can have a negative impact on their chance of survival and quality of life; and
Whereas	survival for NET cancer patients is further compromised by fragmented care and lack of access to treatment by networks of specialists; and
Whereas	although there have been advances in the detection and treatment of NET cancers, not all patients are benefiting quickly enough from scientific and medical progress in the field; and
Whereas	with timely diagnosis and proper treatment, NET cancer patients can have significantly improved outcomes and quality of life;

Now, therefore we, the World NET Community, proclaim, November 10, as the annual Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day and encourage patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals,as well as the wider community, to join with us as we work together to raise awareness about NET cancers and the need for timely diagnosis and access to optimal treatment and care.
