Po Hien Ear, PhD

It was such a great honor to be at #ENETS2025

I saw so many NET super stars 🤩🤩🤩 but I was too shy to go talk to them.

I finally summed up my courage to ask 2 of them (Profs de Herder & Hofland) for a selfie.

More next time…

@endocrineoncology.bsky.social is in great hands with outstanding expertises from profs Castano & Glasberg!

Preparing for the ENETS annual conference next month. Here is a simplified vision of what might be the future in the world of radioligand therapy for NETs (RLT which I now prefer over PRRT as a term...).

Need better predictors of efficacy and tox

I have never been good at predicting...

Congratulations to our founding member & former ENETS Chair, Philippe Ruszniewski, on receiving the ENETS Life Achievement Award 2025 from ENETS Chair Rocio Garcia-Carbonero. A well-deserved honour for his dedication and lifelong contributions to ENETS & NET science.
Thank you, Philippe!

Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Incidence by Sex and Age in the US This observational study reports on a comprehensive nationwide evaluation of rising gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor incidence in the US from 2001 to 2020.

New epidemiology data on gastroenteropancreatic
NETs (GEP-NETs) in the US. As I have said before and will continue saying, the incidence keeps rising (probably mostly from better diagnostic methods).

We know about what factors we can avoid, but what ones could we avoid if we knew about them? The role of the gut #microbiome has come under the microscope - Fusobacterium nucleatum and a few other culprits are implicated, but why are they there?

Big thanks to Dr @kelines.bsky.social who brought us together and made it happen! She’s awesome! 👏👏👏

Super exciting! Highly recommended!

Just finished a wonderful trip to my old stomping grounds at the University of Iowa to lecture on CUPs.

Did you know, they are looking for a NET oncologist…? If you or someone you know is interested, please check them out. That’s the institution that started my NET career 😍

You can start the trend 😉

Thanks for starting this!
