Our Events
CNETS organises free seminars, group meetups and other events to help raise awareness
about carcinoid and nueurondocrine disease. We are currently organising events in conjunction
with World NET Cancer Day 2012.
Oncolytic Virus Therapy - A Potential Breakthrough Treatment for Neuroendocrine Tumors
A gene therapist at Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden believes he has identified a virus which
targets and destroys neuroendocrine tumors (also known as NET cancer), though so far only in lab
mice. And a journalist whose best friend was diagnosed with this rare cancer has established an
Oncolytic Virus Fund to raise money for human trials. Lately this story has moved from cancer
support forums to the mainstream media, under headlines such as: "A Virus That Kills Cancer: A
Cure That's Waiting In The Cold".
We are pleased to present a talk on Oncolytic Virus Therapy by Professor Dr Kjell Oberg PhD,
of Uppsala University Hospital, a European Centre of Excellence in Neuroendocrine Tumours. Dr
Oberg is Professor of Endocrine Oncology at the Medical Faculty of Uppsala University. He was
the former head of the Department of Endocrine Oncology, University Hospital, and he is a specialist
in endocrinology and internal medicine. He founded the Dept. of Endocrine Oncology at Uppsala
University Hospital and has 30 years experience in the field of neuroendocrine tumors.
