A 49-year-old women was referred for biopsy after routine mammography showed a 2.4-cm diameter spiculated mass in the left breast
PE: revealed a well-circumscribed, non-tender firm mass in the lower-outer quadrant of the left breast; singular palpable nodal enlargement in the left axilla
Excisional biopsy of the breast and axillary lymph nodes showed high grade lobular carcinoma

Staging, pT2N3M0
She underwent right mastectomy and lymph node dissection

Liver transplant led to durable survival in unresectable NET liver metastases; tumor burden predicted outcomes, and recurrence was common but treatable.
Mark A. Lewis, MD, explains how oral cabozantinib reduces time toxicity for patients with previously treated, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors.
In a phase 1 trial, a single intratumoral injection of oncolytic virus SVV-001 with ipilimumab and nivolumab was safe in high-grade neuroendocrine cancers.
