Surgery for neuroendocrine cancer

The type of surgery you have depends on a number of factors. These include where the cancer started in your body (primary site). And how fast it is growing (grade) and whether it has spread (stage).

You have an appointment at the pre assessment clinic 1 or 2 weeks before your operation. You usually have some tests to check you are well enough for surgery.

Your recovery time will depend on what type of surgery you have. When you wake up after surgery, you are likely to have some tubes and drains in place.
