Over the course of two days you will hear lectures from renowned national and international speakers and participate in hands-on case-work. You will work in groups on several relevant cases and share your knowledge with each other through peer-to-peer learning exercises guided by experts.

During the course, you will explore:

• Pathology and classification
• Symptoms
• Epidemiology
• Surgical treatment
• Medical treatment, including Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT)
• When to perform genetic testing?

After the course you will have gained extensive knowledge on neuroendocrine tumors and will have participated in spreading awareness on the topic.

As fostering networks and collaboration is a primary goal of DDEA, you will have ample time for scientific and social networking during the group work and meals at the course.
