#2909 Serotonin-Secreting NeuroEndocrine Neoplasms of the Pancreas: Which Are the Primary Pancreatic Carcinoids?

Introduction: Serotonin-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (5-HT-secreting pNENs) are very rare. They are characterised by high urinary 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA) levels (or high serum 5-HT levels).

#2750 Progression-Free Survival and Clinical Outcomes with Long-Term Use of Telotristat Ethyl in US Clinical Practice

Introduction: Treatment of advanced neuroendocrine tumors aims to relieve symptoms and suppress tumor growth. Primary findings from the TELEACE study suggested telotristat ethyl (TE) may reduce tumor size and impact tumor growth.

#2097 Oral Ondansetron Offers Effective Symptomatic Bridging for Carcinoid Syndrome Refractory to Somatostatin Analogues

Introduction: Somatostatin analogues (SSA) are standard for symptomatic patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). However, most patients experience tachyphylaxis, and limited options exist for this refractory carcinoid syndrome (RCS). Recently, ondansetron has been associated with reduction of bowel movement in a small series.

#1010 Soluble VCAM-1 and Its Relation to Clinical Staging and Histological Grading in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs)

Introduction: Cellular adhesion molecules play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis.

#911 Immunohistochemical Expression of Connective Tissue Growth Factor and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 in Lung Carcinoids

Introduction: Several studies have shown altered expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor (IGF-1R) in different types of cancers. Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) is triggered by Serotonin (5-HT) and Hypoxia Induced Factor 1 (HIF-1) and has been associated with tumor expansion and desmoplastic reaction in carcinoid tumors.
