Study Overview: This study looks at the quality of life (QOL) after surgery for a type of cancer called neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). NETs are unique because patients often live longer despite having the disease. The research aims to understand how surgery affects patients' lives over time, using surveys and health checks at multiple points after surgery. This study will take place over 18 months, with follow-ups for up to 36 months in 12 hospitals across North America and Europe.
Eligibility: Adults over 18 with specific types of NETs (grade 1 to 3) are eligible. Participants should be willing to have surgery. People with a certain type of NETs called neuroendocrine carcinoma or those who decline surgery cannot join. It's important that participants can complete questionnaires in the local language.
- Time Commitment: Participants will be involved for up to 36 months.
- Study Visits: Surveys and health checks before surgery and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after.
- Study Purpose: To improve understanding of life after NET surgery, aiding in better surgical decisions.
By joining, participants will contribute to important research on managing this cancer.
