Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumour
Project summary
Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs) can arise from most parts of the body but commonest are Lung, Pancreas and Gut. The EORTC QLQ-GINET21 module for patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours was fully validated and published. Patients with pNET were included in the GINET group but their tumours have differences to other GINET.
The aim of the study is to develop a questionnaire to assess quality of life in patients with Neuroendocrine Tumour of pancreatic origin (pNET), with particular respect to functioning pNET, that are not already assessed by the QLQ-C30. The resultant questionnaire will consist of questions relevant for non-functioning, insulinoma and gastrinoma patients.
The current EORTC guidelines for adapting the existing GINET21 module were used and study sites included those from UK, Europe and a non-European site for cross cultural applicability.
