The Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network (NCAN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of Neuroendocrine Cancer, providing support for caregivers and people with NETs, and funding for NET cancer research. Since 2003, it has been our mission, or as we like to say, our passion, to educate and support the NET community as a whole. That’s our thing.
Since 2003 NCAN has had a toll free hotline has been answered 7 days a week from 9 am to 9 pm EST and have mailed out free information packets to tens of thousands of patients. It has been our honor to help those who have reached out to us during their darkest times. It always helps people to know that we can totally understand and guide them since we have been through this journey ourselves.
NCAN has produced over 75 conferences worldwide virtual, national and regional. These events have been beneficial for thousands of patients and their families, keeping them up-to-date on information impacting the decisions made regarding their care, including new diagnostics and treatments available and upcoming.

2020 Strides for Stripes Virtual Zebra Walk Across America Money raised from the Strides for Stripes event goes directly to programs that assist Neuroendocrine and Carcinoid Cancer (NET) patients, such as our NET Cancer Hotline, Patient Conferences, and educational webinars.

Sad to see we the lost of a fellow NET patient.
Just goes to show Neuroendocrine Cancer doesn't discriminate. Look at the famous people that have died of it Audrey Hepburn, Dave Thomas, Steve Jobs, Aretha Franklin just to name a few.
It doesn't care if you are rich or poor, your age, race, or s*x. We have patients DX as young as under the age of 1 through 90 years old.
