Neuroendocrine Tumor Center

The Center for Neuroendocrine and Carcinoid Tumors, directed by Richard R.P. Warner, MD seeks to provide outstanding care for patients with these rare tumors. The mission of the Center is to provide a seamless, multidisciplinary approach to patient care with the collaboration of experts from fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and pathology.

The center also seeks to educate medical students, housestaff, and fellows as to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these patients. Another objective of the Center is to engage in clinical research that will advance the field; this includes the creation of a Neuroendocrine and Carcinoid Tumor database, multiple clinical trials, as well as collaboration with basic scientists to elucidate the molecular basis for biologic behavior.
