WHAT IS NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOUR?
Neuroendocrine tumour (NET) is a rare form of cancer. It is basically a condition in which there is an abnormal tissue growth in the hormone producing nervous cells (or neuroendocrine cells) of the body.
Such tumours can target various parts of the body, develop commonly in the intestines, in the lungs, pancreas or anywhere else.

SURVIVAL RATE OF NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOUR
Whether or not the tumour is serious depends on if it is benign or malignant. It’s survival rate depends on many factors such as the affected body part and if the growth has spread to and affected other parts of the body.
The disease is otherwise considered rare and is actually a broad term used to refer to a heterogeneous group of neoplasms. So, the survival rates depend on many factors and cannot be generalized.
There have been no confirmed reports about the type of neuroendocrine tumour which Irrfan khan has and neither did he mention about it in his tweet.
Well, entire nation is praying for his speedy recovery. You all stay tuned to BeFitAndFine to get all the real updates about Irrfan Khan‘s overall health condition right here.
