#1025 Evaluation of Patients (pts) with Neuroendocrine Tumors at First Cardiological Consultation with Echocardiographic (Echo) Method. Argentum Group

Introduction: The incidence of carcinoid tumors is approximately 1 in 75,000 of the population of whom 50% develop carcinoid syndrome. Once carcinoid syndrome has developed, approximately 50% of these patients develop carcinoid heart disease which typically causes abnormalities in the right side of the heart.

#938 Clinical Characteristics of 144 patients (pts) Included in a Multidisciplinary Group, with Well-Differentiated Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) G2 (WHO 2010). Grupo Argentum.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) G2 of the digestive tract are a heterogeneous group of tumors. Several treatment options including chemotherapy and target therapy are used, but there is a lack of prospective trials assessing the role of predictive factors in this population.

#868 Role of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/TC (68Ga-PET-CT) for the Management of Patients with Neuroendrocrine Tumors (NETs): Impact in Therapeutic Decisions of our Clinical Practice

Introduction: 68Ga-PET-CT has demonstrated a higher diagnostic accuracy than any other imaging procedures (CT/MRI/SRS). ARGENTUM group described their experience with 68Ga-PET-CT in eight patients with advanced Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (ENETS 2011). Conclusion was that 68Ga-PET-CT enabled changes in the strategy of treatment in all cases. The impact of 68Ga-PET-CT on the therapeutic management in NETs is constantly under evaluation.

#854 Scoping Study on Quality of Life (QL) in Patients (pts) with Neuroendoncrine Tumors (NET) of the Digestive Tract in Argentina: Preliminary Results

Introduction: Patients with NET compound a specific cancer population: their survival used to be longer than other cancer patient populations and they received drugs (eg. somatostatin analogues) rarely used on others. The systematic measure of QL in these patients could lead to better understanding of the impact of the disease and treatments, not only in terms of symptom prevalence but also in relation to daily concerns.
