- Abstract
The article discusses guidelines for treatment of bone and lung metastases from neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) recommended by the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society. The prevalence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are considered rare and often at an advance stage when detected in patients. Bone and lung metastases are frequent complications of the disease. Clinical presentations and prognosis of the disease are presented. A multimodal approach emphasizing quality of life and survival of patients in the treatment of NETs is recommended.
