About

Registered NZ charity established to support patients, families and medical professionals involved in Neuroendocrine tumours / cancer. (NET cancer)

Story

We are a registered charity, (CC49802) acting in the public interest to help educate and support New Zealand sufferers of neuroendocrine tumours/carcinomas (NETs) and their families. We also aim to increase awareness and knowledge of the disease amongst the medical community. We also hope to improve access to treatment and diagnostic tests for NZ patients and where possible, we would like to provide funds to researchers and institutions who will work towards a cure for this uncommon group of cancers. By working closely with medical groups we hope to raise the profile of neuroendocrine tumours and foster greater knowledge and involvement of primary health care practitioners and help ensure best practice care for patients with these tumours.
