After 2+ days of exchanging ideas, sharing data, and building new collaborations, the 2025 NETRF Research Symposium has come to a successful close.

Today's program opened with a powerful patient presentation by Jake Dawson, reminding us why this work matters and energizing researchers to push forward with renewed purpose. Later, Dr. Mauro Cives closed the meeting by expressing the "...urgent need to accelerate the pace (and clinical translation) of scientific discoveries in the neuroendocrine cancer field."

Thank you to everyone who participated for making this such a productive meeting and for being such an exceptional community. The momentum from this symposium is sure to drive breakthroughs in the months and years ahead.

And, a special thank you to our sponsors for helping to make this meeting possible: Presenting sponsor Exelixis; additional support provided by Chimeric, ITM and Perspective Therapeutics; travel grant support provided by Jim Rodin, Camurus and RayzeBio.

The first full day of the 2025 Margie and Robert E. Petersen Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Symposium offered powerful insights and inspiration.

Dr. Pamela Kunz's opening keynote traced two decades of remarkable progress in neuroendocrine cancer research and treatment while charting the path forward. As she put it, "NETRF has catalyzed practice-changing research and helped build the next generation of NET scientists."

What makes this symposium truly exceptional? The infusion of patient voices, groundbreaking research discoveries, and a collaborative community united in advancing neuroendocrine cancer science.

We've had the privilege of attending the NANETS annual conference this week, where we presented the 2025 Basic/Translational Science Investigator (BTSI) Award to Dr. Suzann Duan. This honor is made possible through our partnership with NANETS and is supported by NETRF.

Dr. Duan was recognized for her innovative proposal, "Targeting the Epigenetic Landscape of GEP-NETs through Menin-MLL." Dr. Duan's work exemplifies the dedication and scientific innovation necessary to better understand and treat neuroendocrine cancer.

Congratulations again to Dr. Duan. You can learn more about her research on our blog. https://netrf.org/2025/08/18/netrf-btsi-awardee-suzann-duan/

For 16 years, Wayne Firsty and his two children Shay and Alana, have completed a moonlight walk fundraiser in memory of their wife and mother Julie Seltzer-Firsty, with proceeds benefiting NETRF.

This year's walk presented a unique geographic challenge: Wayne was in Palo Alto, Shay in Denver, and Alana in New Zealand!

But after setting a multi-year goal to raise $100,000 in 2023, they refused to let distance stop them. Connected by WhatsApp, they walked simultaneously, united in spirit and purpose.

Not only did they surpass their $100,000 goal, which will fund a Mentored Research Award, they did it together, while honoring Julie's belief in the power of research.

Huge thanks to the Firsty family and their sponsors, who are making critical research for neuroendocrine cancer possible.
