Canadian Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (CNETS)

CNETS provides support and education for Canadians on all aspects of NeuroEndocrine Tumours (NETs). We help Canadian NET patients seek and obtain personalized diagnostic and therapeutic options. We also advocate on behalf of individual patients and for policies to support NET patients. The organization does its work in collaboration with medical and scientific experts, stakeholders and partner associations. The objectives of CNETS are to provide workshops and seminars on issues dealing with conditions associated with carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumour diseases; to establish support groups to provide support services for those affected by carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumour diseases; to increase awareness of and educate the public and health care professionals on carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumours, their diagnosis, treatment and management; and to support cancer research by gifting funds to other registered charities or organizations that are otherwise qualified donees as defined in subsection 149.1(1) of the Income Tax Act.
