         Carcinoid Cancer Foundation Releases New Video Series
         Beginning with “The ABC’s of Carcinoid/NETs”
         What is the most common kind of neuroendocrine tumor (NET)? How do these tumors grow? What
         is carcinoid syndrome?  What are the quality of life issues for patients?  In “The ABC’s of
         Carcinoid/NETs,” three of the world’s leading carcinoid and NET cancer specialists – Dr. Richard
         R.P. Warner, Dr. Edward M. Wolin, and Dr. Eugene A. Woltering  – talk about the advice they
         offer their patients, the advances they have seen during their careers, and what they anticipate will
         be available for NET patients in the future.
         If you or a loved one were newly diagnosed with carcinoid cancer or another neuroendocrine tumor,
         such as a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), what would you want to know about these rare
         diseases?  What information would you like to share with your local doctor?  Learn more in the first
         video of  the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation video series.
          
          
         Faces of Hope
         Meet NET cancer survivors Claire, Josh, Judy, Kathy, Kenneth, and "Sunny" Susan as they share their
         journeys about being diagnosed and living with rare neuroendocrine tumors, including lung
         carcinoid, carcinoid of the ileum, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
          
         Surgery and Treatment Options
         What are the surgical and treatment options for carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumor patients? For
         patients with tumors that have spread to the liver which therapies should be used to improve quality
         and quantity of life?  How do patients benefit from clinical trials?   There is an explosion of
         technologies coming not only in the diagnostics but also in the treatments of these rare cancers.
          
         Lung Carcinoid
                                                                                           Page 1 of 3

        According to the latest research, 28% of all carcinoids occur in the lung. What are the symptoms of
        lung carcinoid? Do these tumors cause carcinoid syndrome? Learn more from carcinoid and
        neuroendocrine tumor experts about imaging and surgery for lung carcinoids. Meet two lung
        carcinoid survivors, Kenneth and Kathy. Kenneth has completed more than a dozen marathons since
        he had his lung removed. Read an inspiring story about lung carcinoid survivors here:

        Nutrition and Neuroendocrine Tumors
        What is a healthy diet for neuroendocrine tumor patients? If a NET patient has carcinoid syndrome
        which foods should be avoided? Are supplements recommended for carcinoid/NET patients? When
        NETpatientshaveproblemsrelatedtomalabsorptionandvarioustherapies,whatchangesshouldbe
        made in their diet? These are among the many questions answered by Jeffrey I. Mechanick, MD

                                           Throughout this unique series the focus is on topics of importance to the carcinoid and
                                           neuroendocrine tumor community including surgery and treatment options, lung carcinoid, nutrition,
                                           and living well with NET cancer.  Additional videos in the series will be released throughout the
                                           remainder of 2012.
                                           Awareness and education are the first critical components in the fight against carcinoid and NET
                                           cancers.  Early detection and diagnosis can both enhance the quality of patients’ lives and extend
                                           their lives.  The Carcinoid Cancer Foundation is dedicated to bringing about this awareness as
                                           advocates for all who are currently living with carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumors, their
                                           families, and those yet to be diagnosed. We are honored to be of service to this community
                                           and hope that our efforts continue to make a difference in your lives.
