Résumé
Once the diagnosis of a neuroendocrine tumour has been made, characterisation is an essential step before therapy. It comes before the decision regarding treatment is made. This requires a multidisciplinary team of experts located in specialist centres that currently make up the RENATEN and TENPATH networks. It is directed by knowledge of the location of the primary tumour and anatomical pathological differentiation. The aim of this characterisation step is to highlight factors that may have an impact on the diagnosis and the prognosis or predict the response to treatment.
