Neuroendocrine Cancer UK ‘Not Just NE Cancer’ Podcast

We now have over 30 episodes available, including a special Advancing Research ‘take-over’ which was hosted by our Campaigns Lead, Lisa. In the latest episode of the "Not Just NE Cancer" podcast, host Cathy sits down with Professor Martyn Caplin, Gastroenterologist, Neuroendocrinologist and Neuroendocrine Cancer UK Patron, for an insightful conversation about the development of understanding and care for neuroendocrine cancer. Prof. Caplin discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionise medicine and improve the early diagnosis of rare diseases. He shares his journey into the field of neuroendocrinology, recalling the beginnings of UKINETS and ENETS, and highlighting key contributors along the way. Over the past 2 years, we have been incredibly inspired by the variety of guests who have taken the time to share their insight, expertise and experiences on the ‘Not Just NE Cancer’ podcast, hosted by our CEO, Cathy.

They reflect on the significant milestone of hiring the first Specialist Nurse for neuroendocrine tumours in the UK, a role Cathy proudly took on. Professor Caplin also reveals his greatest achievements to date and shares his thoughts on the vital role of specialist nurses in patient care. Looking to the future, Cathy and Prof. Caplin discuss the need for more clinical trials with less bureaucracy and the potential for greater use of molecular profiling in advancing neuroendocrine cancer treatment.
