Mission: The Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network (NCAN) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of Neuroendocrine Cancer, Carcinoid and other types of tumors. By 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.
Results: Because neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare cancers with no celebrity spokesperson or widespread recognition, patients need to be their own best advocates. You need to be aware of all the new diagnostics and effective new treatments available. If you are, how do you sort out what’s right for you? If you aren’t, how can you get informed? That’s what we’re here for. For the past 19 years NCAN has provided information and support to NET patients and caregivers through e-mail, our web site, and our toll free hotline. Whether you need information or a friendly person to talk to, we’re always here to deliver. You can reach us at 1-866-850-9555,7 days a week, 365 days a year, from 9 am to 9 pm EST.

There’s a packet waiting for you. Just let us know when you’re ready to receive it. We’ve also provided many support groups around the world with information, merchandise, and awareness items. And we’re just getting started!The NCAN organization has produced over 90 conferences around the country as well as regional conferences designed for local audiences.
