On Monday 15 June, NECA held its Perth NET Patient Forum at Fiona Stanley Hospital, welcoming over 40 patients, carers, families and friends for an informative evening with a fantastic line-up of specialist speakers.
The evening covered some of the topics that matter most to the NET community.
- Dr Peter Dias opened the forum and provided an excellent explanation of the heart and the impact of Carcinoid Heart Disease highlighting the importance of regular review of the hearts functioning
- Dr Aviral Singh gave an overview of PRRT (Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy) and radiopharmaceuticals for future use.
- Dr Chris Lomma then spoke to new and emerging treatments, including Cabozantinib, offering attendees a valuable window into the evolving treatment landscape.
- Dr Piyush Grover outlined current clinical trial opportunities available to patients.
The clinical presentations were complemented by an overview of NECA’s services, advocacy and resources. A lively Q&A gave attendees the chance to put their questions directly to the panel, rounding out a really valuable evening for the WA community.
