World Neuroendocrine Tumor Awareness Day (NET Cancer Day) takes place annually on the 10 November and it is coordinated by the International Neuroendocrine Cancer Alliance (INCA). The main objectives of this event are to increase awareness about various types of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), advocate for scientific progress by addressing unmet needs, and foster global collaboration to tackle the challenges faced by NET patients and the medical community in terms of timely diagnosis, optimal treatment, and support.

In celebration of NET Cancer Day 2023, Current Oncology (ISSN: 1718-7729) has curated a collection of open access scholarly research studies focused on neuroendocrine tumors. Our intention is to disseminate new scientific knowledge to the world on this significant occasion.
