MANAGEMENT OF INCIDENTALLY DETECTED COLORECTAL NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS

Society: AGA

This session is co-sponsored by the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS). Clinically focused session focused on management of incidentally discovered neuroendocrine tumors, with a specific focus on the role of the gastroenterologist in this management. The session will have talks focused on incidentally discovered neuroendocrine tumors including gastroduodenal neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and colorectal neuroendocrine tumors. Incidental identification of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors is becoming increasing common in gastroenterology practice, and therefore gastroenterologists need to understand how to manage these tumors when they are encountered.
