Q: What treatments are available for neuroendocrine cancer?

A: Treatments for neuroendocrine cancer depend on the type, location, and stage of the cancer. Treatment options can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Surgery is often the first line of treatment and is used to remove the tumor. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are used to kill any remaining cancer cells. Hormone therapy is used to block the production of hormones that stimulate the growth of cancer cells. In some cases, targeted therapy may be used to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. Additionally, immunotherapy and clinical trials may also be available to people with neuroendocrine cancer.
