The publication of the first North American consensus guidelines for NET disease management was a major achievement for the carcinoid/NET community in 2010. These guidelines include early detection procedures for diagnostic purposes, imaging, histopathology, biochemical evaluation, surgical procedures, and evidence-based treatments emphasizing a multidisciplinary team-based approach to patient care. The NANETS Guidelines Working Group consists of 38 carcinoid/NET specialists writing guidelines in the areas of Epidemiology and Genetics, Pathology, Radionuclide Therapies, Biochemistry, Symptomatic Control, Surgery, Imaging and Liver-Directed Therapies, Systemic Treatments, and Follow-up. The guidelines have been published in Pancreas, Volume 39, Number 6, August 2010. They are as follows:
