Surgery represents the treatment of choice in most patients with a NET irrespective of tumour stage. In patients receiving additional treatment, an impressive variety of treatment sequences were documented. In small intestinal NETs, patients received PRRT more often than chemotherapy, whereas the opposite holds true for patients with pancreatic and lung NETs.
