There Is
suggestion

"There is no consensus on the best single imaging modality for NETs and it depends on the suspected location and local expertise. Combined modalities and techniques are often used 1-3:"

Line 31:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"used for suspected gastric, enteric and pancreatic NETs pre and post IV iodinated contrast, ideally including arterial and portal venous phases"

Line 40:27 · Use the Oxford comma in 'gastric, enteric and pancreatic'.

"Used for suspected hepatic, pancreatic or retroperitoneal NETs, often with gadolinium contrast agents. MRI enterography also possible."

Line 44:23 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hepatic, pancreatic or retroperitoneal'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 can present with multiple lesions; functional NETs can be identified from these, using calcium stimulation with venous sampling"

Line 65:84 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"non-functioning NETs present late and tend to be larger and have mass-effect or non-specific symptoms or signs; these can be identified using CT"

Line 82:118 · Use semicolons judiciously.
