NANETS is a leader in NET education and is actively involved in the development of consensus guidelines to support the medical treatment and management of NET disease. NANETS’ Consensus Guidelines serve as important references for practicing physicians. The Guidelines and Publications Committee coordinates the process of developing consensus guidelines using rigorous literature review conducted by content-specific NET experts serving on consensus panels. Since 2013, NANETS has published 8 guidelines on pancreatic NETs, small bowel NETs, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-dotatate, and somatostatin receptor PET imaging. Two panels are completing their work on guidelines for pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms. We invite you to visit our online library at https://nanets.net/net-guidelines-library as we continue to publish and post new consensus guidelines. We wish to thank all of the committee members and panelists who have contributed to this important work over the years. Sincerely, James R. Howe, MD Jennifer A. Chan, MD, MPH Board President Chair, Guidelines and University of Iowa Carver Publications Committee College of Medicine Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Lauren Fishbein, MD, PhD, MTR Thorvardur R. Halfdanarson, MD Co-Chair, Guidelines and Past Chair, Guidelines and Publications Committee Publications Committee University of Colorado Mayo Clinic School of Medicine NANETS 2020 GUIDELINES 3 NANETS OVERVIEW The North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society’s (NANETS) mission is to improve outcomes for patients with neuroendocrine tumors through multidisciplinary medical education, NET related medical research, publication of guidelines and the exchange of knowledge and innovation. The Exchange of Knowledge and Innovation — The Cornerstone of NANETS’ Mission NANETS is committed to furthering neuroendocrine tumor disease diagnosis, treatment and management through research and education. With over 15,000 new patients diagnosed with NETs each year, there is a continuing need to support NET research and advance the dissemination of vital research findings. NANETS offers a robust educational programming series through regional NET education confer- ences, an annual symposium, and an online webinars. These educational opportunities are presented by well-known leaders and experts in the field, exclusively for medical professionals. NANETS supports NET related medical research through annual research grants to early career professionals in basic/translational science, clinical investigation and theranostics. These annual grants support innovative research initiatives and encourage young researchers and scientific clinicians to become NET specialists. NANETS’ Annual Multidisciplinary NET Medical Symposium provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and innovation among researchers and clinicians within the NET field as well as related fields. NANETS curates abstracts from researchers at institutions in North America and around the world. Through abstract presentations and interactive poster sessions, NANETS showcases cutting edge topics in neuroendocrine tumor research and current clinical trials. Abstracts are compiled in a yearly publication and serve as a comprehensive guide to the latest in NET research. Guidelines Form the Foundation of NANETS To begin educating medical professionals on NET disease, founding members of NANETS understood the importance of consensus guidelines. The NANETS Guidelines Working Group was created and from 2008-2010, hours of effort were poured into launching this much-lauded initiative. The first consensus guidelines focused on critical elements of NET disease management by organ – including the develop- ment of position papers and collaborative feedback, with the first consensus conference held on October 2, 2008. This meeting generated intense discussions resulting in the publication of NANETS’ first consen- sus guidelines: The NANETS Consensus Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Tumors (p. 157).1 Since that initial meeting and publication, NANETS’ has published 7 additional consensus guidelines includ- ing joint consensus guidelines with the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). Several more guidelines will be published in 2021. The Guidelines and Publications Committee seeks the input from members on guidelines topics through an annual survey.

    PHARMACY COVERAGE GUIDELINES ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE DATE: 5/18/2017 SECTION: DRUGS LAST REVIEW DATE: 5/20/2021 LAST CRITERIA REVISION DATE: 5/20/2021 ARCHIVE DATE: XERMELO™ (telotristat ethyl) Coverage for services, procedures, medical devices and drugs are dependent upon benefit eligibility as outlined in the member's specific benefit plan. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline must be read in its entirety to determine coverage eligibility, if any. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline provides information related to coverage determinations only and does not imply that a service or treatment is clinically appropriate or inappropriate. The provider and the member are responsible for all decisions regarding the appropriateness of care. Providers should provide BCBSAZ complete medical rationale when requesting any exceptions to these guidelines. The section identified as “Description” defines or describes a service, procedure, medical device or drug and is in no way intended as a statement of medical necessity and/or coverage. The section identified as “Criteria” defines criteria to determine whether a service, procedure, medical device or drug is considered medically necessary or experimental or investigational. State or federal mandates, e.g., FEP program, may dictate that any drug, device or biological product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not be considered experimental or investigational and thus the drug, device or biological product may be assessed only on the basis of medical necessity. Pharmacy Coverage Guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available. For purposes of this Pharmacy Coverage Guideline, the terms "experimental" and "investigational" are considered to be interchangeable.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains the current standard of care for PMP. Peritoneal sarcomatosis (PS) is an exceptionally rare disease with a poor prognosis. PMP associated with PS has not been previously described. The role of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for PS with or without PMP is not well-defined. PS manifesting like PMP has not been previously described. Case presentation: A 74-year-old patient with several weeks history of vague abdominal pain and increased abdominal girth was referred to our facility after incidental finding of PMP during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. After complete work-up, he was advised to undergo CRS/HIPEC. Intra-operatively, he was noted to have extensive mucinous ascites and underwent aggressive CRS and HIPEC Result: Final pathology revealed myxoid liposarcoma with associated intraperitoneal mucin dissemination, which was confirmed with cytogenetic analysis.

PTC has a high rate of gene fusions and mutations, which can influence clinical and biological behavior in both children and adults. In this review, we focus on the comparison between pediatric and adult PTC, highlighting genetic alterations, telomere-related genomic instability and changes in nuclear organization as novel biomarkers for thyroid cancers. Abstract: Thyroid cancer is a rare malignancy in the pediatric population that is highly associated with disease aggressiveness and advanced disease stages when compared to adult population.
