INTRODUCTION

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) convened an expert panel to develop the upcoming evidence-based guideline “Evaluation of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs).”

The draft consists of seven strong recommendations and three conditional recommendations. The list of key questions and references included for data extraction are available for review on cap.org.

During the open comment period, the expert panel will conduct a refresh of the literature search to include newer articles published since the initial literature search was performed. The expert panel will review and consider all comments received as well as additional data from the literature refresh to finalize the recommendations. The guideline manuscript will be submitted to Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine later.

Reviewing and commenting on the draft recommendations should take ~20 minutes to complete.

We thank you in advance for your participation.
