Jennifer Chan, MD, MPH, senior physician, clinical director, Program in Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine Tumors, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, assistant professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, discusses a trial of cabozantinib (Cabometyx) in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

Chan says there is ongoing work to evaluate cabozantinib in a larger trial.
