Background: The University Teaching Hospital Trust has a regional neuroendocrine tumour (NET) service that requires a database exclusively for NET patient information. UK and Ireland NET Society (UKINETS) guidelines for gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs recommend plasma Chromogranin-A (Cg-A) and 24 h urinary 5-hydroxyindoacetic acid (24 h Ur 5-HIAA) as baseline investigations.
