Myth #6 - Only the stage of your Neuroendocrine Cancer defines how serious it is This is another myth it’s important to tackle upfront. The stage of your neuroendocrine cancer can give important information about the primary site and whether it has spread. However, other factors such as how active it is (grading), what the tumour cells look like under a microscope (differentiation) and your overall health, alongside tumour staging, will determine how serious it is. So please make sure you always chat to your care team to get the full picture about your condition.
