Join us for the not-to-be-missed NCAN 2024 Tennessee NET Patient Conference in Nashville, TN, on Saturday, September 28th.
Why Attend an In-Person Event?
In today’s digital age, where virtual meetings have become the norm, there’s something uniquely valuable about coming together face-to-face. The power of human connection, shared experiences, and personal interactions cannot be understated.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF AN NCAN CONFERENCE IS COMMUNITY.

When people affected by Neuroendocrine Cancer come together, they create a powerful energy that helps them thrive throughout the year.
As we like to say: “Every family has a story. We’re glad you’re part of ours.”

MEET SOME OF THE ROCK STARS OF TREATING NETS.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND?
• Gain unprecedented access to top experts
• Get your questions answered
• Return home a wiser and better-equipped self-advocate

• Meet those that genuinely understand what you are going through
• Build a strong and supportive community
• Leave with a sense of optimism and hope for the future

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM AN NCAN NET CANCER PATIENT CONFERENCE:
• An in-depth review of the current thinking on Neuroendocrine Cancers (NET)
• Basic review of disease and treatment information on various forms of NET
• Practical steps you can take to become an even stronger advocate for your best care and treatment

• Strategies for improving your health and well-being in spite of your illness
• Networking with other patients and family members, join a support group in your area and learn how to use the resources available from NCAN

Don’t miss out on this chance to connect and support one another in our journey with NETs. Together, we can learn, grow, and advocate for better care and awareness.
We look forward to welcoming you at this transformative experience.

Nominations.

Do You Know of a NET Physician/Researcher Who Shines in The NET Community?
Nominate them for “The O’Dorisio Award for NET Leadership”. This award will be presented to a NET physician who embodies the same spirit as Dr. O’Dorisio as an exceptional contributor to the NET community with research, clinical skills, leadership and advocacy.

Dr. Thomas O’Dorisio was a champion of the NET community but most of all, our friend. Back in 2003, he was the very first speaker at an NCAN conference and would be a staple for NCAN Conferences for nearly 20 years. In 2021 Tom unfortunately passed away but his legacy lives on.
Submit the form September 4th through September 23rd to nominate the NET Physician of your choice. You will receive an email confirming your submission. If you don’t receive an e-mail, contact NCAN and we will confirm receipt.
Nominations will be accepted until September 23rd, 2024 for consideration.
