Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET)

Neuroendocrine tumors are highly varied and don't fit one prescription. At Doruk, every case is planned for your tumor by our multidisciplinary council.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Oncology Council

Surgery, somatostatin analogue, or PRRT? The sequence is decided jointly by medical oncologist, surgical oncologist, endocrinologist and nuclear medicine.

Targeted Imaging with Ga-68 DOTATATE PET-CT

Ga-68 DOTATATE PET-CT visualizes somatostatin-receptor-positive tumors; this guides both staging and theranostic eligibility.

Theranostics (PRRT — Lu-177 DOTATATE)

In advanced receptor-positive NET, tumor-targeting radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is delivered in the nuclear medicine unit.

Grade- and Function-Based Plan

Grading by Ki-67 (G1/G2/G3) and functional distinction are made; hormonal symptoms such as carcinoid syndrome are addressed in treatment.

Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery

In localized NET, organ-preserving resection with Da Vinci robotic and laparoscopic surgery; small incision and faster recovery are the aims.

World-Renowned Staff and International Patient Support

A high-volume team; visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter support for patients from abroad.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

OVERVIEW

Who it's for & conditions treated

Who is it for?
Carcinoid syndrome symptoms (in functional tumors): flushing of the face/neck, diarrhea, wheezing and palpitations.
Hormone-specific syndromes (in pancreatic NET): symptoms such as recurrent low blood sugar (insulinoma) or persistent ulcers (gastrinoma).
Abdominal pain, a palpable mass, bowel obstruction or unexplained weight loss.
Non-functional tumors are often silent and may be found incidentally on imaging performed for another reason.
Hereditary syndrome risk: syndromes such as MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1), von Hippel-Lindau and neurofibromatosis may increase NET risk.
Elevated chromogranin A and organ-specific hormone levels may point toward the diagnosis.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
Application
Application and File Sharing — Share your imaging, pathology and hormone/chromogranin A results; remote pre-assessment begins.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis and Imaging — Grading by Ki-67, functionality assessment and, when needed, receptor status via Ga-68 DOTATATE PET-CT are determined.
Council
Oncology Council Decision — The tumor board sets the sequence of surgery, somatostatin analogue, PRRT or liver-directed therapy according to grade, function and spread.
Treatment
Treatment Delivery — The planned robotic/minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy and/or theranostics (PRRT) is delivered on a transparent schedule.
Follow-up
Follow-up and Tele-Oncology — Periodic follow-up with chromogranin A, hormone levels and imaging; remote check-up option.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.
