#2999 Aberrant Tryptophan Metabolism in Stromal Cells Is Associated with Mesenteric Fibrosis in Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction: Increased levels of serotonin secretion are associated with mesenteric fibrosis (MF) in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs). However, only a proportion of patients with increased serotonin production will develop mesenteric fibrosis.

#2995 Prediction of Symptomatic Mesenteric Mass in Patients with Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors Using a CT Radiomics Approach

Introduction: A mesenteric mass surrounded by fibrosis is a hallmark feature of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) that can induce severe abdominal complications. To improve clinical outcome, there is a need for personalized treatment strategies based on accurate prediction of development of abdominal complications.

#2101 The Effect of Temozolomide on Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors in Vitro and Role of MGMT and MMR System in Temozolomide Resistance

Introduction: Temozolomide (TMZ) has been suggested as a treatment option for patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs). The tumour response to TMZ has been linked to expression levels of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and components of the mismatch repair (MMR) system.

#2095 Progression of Mesenteric Metastasis in Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: A metastatic mesenteric mass is a hallmark of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs). However, little is known about the development of a SI-NET associated mesenteric mass over time.

#2092 Palliative Surgery in Advanced Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are known to develop mesenteric metastasis and fibrosis. Since this can induce intestinal obstruction, edema and ischaemia, prophylactic palliative resection of the primary tumour and mesenteric mass is often recommended in case of advanced disease but the evidence is disputable.
