Understanding patient advocacy groups: vital support for the NET community

Patient advocacy groups (PAGs) are organizations set up to represent and support patients and their families living with a specific condition. They do this in serval ways, by promoting the needs and priorities of patients, representing their perspectives and interests, and serving as trustworthy experts on the disease. PAGs also provide a forum to connect with other people facing similar challenges, and contribute significantly to raising awareness about the disease.

PAGs usually provide a wide range of support for NET patients - from resources for coping with a neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis and guidance on how to find a neuroendocrine tumor specialist, to helping with financial assistance for NET patients, information on neuroendocrine tumor patient rights, or knowledge on NET clinical trial access. They can also help with finding emotional support after NET diagnosis and navigating work during neuroendocrine tumor treatment. Whether you are a patient or a loved one seeking information, these groups provide essential neuroendocrine tumor support every step of the way.

Patient advocacy groups may vary greatly in structure and size, with some being small, volunteer-run organizations, and others large-scale professional charitable entities, highlighting the diversity within patient organizations.
