The Unit has the most comprehensive and largest collection of patients with neuroendocrine tumours in the country. The department continues to be a national centre for the clinical and laboratory investigation of neuroendocrine tumours. The unit's laboratory runs a national supraregional assay service for gut hormones, and endocrine SpRs provide the clinical backup for this service. Patients with neuroendocrine tumours are referred from all over the UK and abroad as a consequence of this service. The expertise the Hammersmith Hospital has to offer these patients both with their diagnosis and ongoing management has resulted in a very large cohort of patients with neuroendocrine tumours attending outpatients despite many patients travelling very long distances.
