What does the zebra represent?
The unofficial mascot of Nureoendocrine tumor awareness
It comes from the medical school adage, “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” It tells students to consider common diagnoses before rare ones. NETs are the “zebras”: they’re relatively uncommon, and their symptoms (flushing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, wheezing) overlap with far more common conditions like IBS, menopause, or asthma. As a result, patients are often misdiagnosed for years, and many are diagnosed only after the disease has metastasized.
