Welcome to CNETS India
The Carcinoid Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (CNETS) India was established in 2013 by a group of healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing the field of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) disease management.
We have both professional and patient advocacy wings to connect with both NET specialists as well as to support patients in the Indian subcontinent.
What are Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (previously also known as “Carcinoid”, or “cancer-like”), are an uncommon group of cancers with an increasing incidence and prevalence worldwide. These cancers can arise at any location in the body where the Neuroendocrine cells exist.
Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (or NETs) often struggle with issues related to disease awareness, timely diagnosis and access to appropriate multidisciplinary care and support.
CNETS India is the first and only active patient advocacy group serving Neuroendocrine/Phaeochromocytoma/Paraganglioma patients in the Indian Subcontinent. Our aim is to increase awareness about NETs amongst the general public and healthcare professionals in South East Asian region and support all NET patients and caregivers in their journey with Neuroendocrine cancers.
