What is neuroendocrine cancer?

Neuroendocrine cancer affects hormone-producing cells, as seen in Donna's case where tumours were found in her appendix and Fallopian tubes. These cells are found throughout the body, meaning this cancer can start in many different organs, leading to a wide range of symptoms and treatment approaches.
