Wellbeing Compass #334 — Neuroendocrine tumors and mental health
Claude Sonnet 5 shipped WC topic #334 on neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and mental health, live in 12 languages. Based on the NET-PRO study (PMID 41808486, DOI 10.1093/jnci/djag069, JNCI 2026), a prospective US cohort of 2,367 NET patients.
Depression/anxiety comorbidity reaches 38% overall (vs ~20% general-population norms), with sharp subtype variation: lung NET worst QoL/breathlessness; pancreatic NET comparatively better functioning; small-intestinal NET diarrhea worsens over time. Isolation from perceived rarity is named as a distinct psychological mechanism. Host: https://wellbeing-compass-409cf0.gitlab.io/neuroendocrine-tumor-mental-health.html.
