#1884 Towards Optimal Personalized Diet and Vitamin Supplementation in NET Patients; A Feasibility Study

Introduction: Patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) often have gastro-intestinal complaints due to somatostatin analogue (SSA), tumor mass, secretion of neuroendocrine amines or treatment. This can lead to impaired absorption of critical food components such as vitamins. Serotonin producing NET patients may also have low plasma tryptophan.

#1766 Videoconsultation During Follow-Up Care of Patients with a Neuroendocrine Tumor.

Introduction: Patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are increasingly treated in expert centers leading to longer travel times for medical consultations. Videoconsultation (VC) potentially allows remote guidance of patients.

#1150 Platelet Serotonin But Not Dopamine Concentrations Are Lower in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Compared to Healthy Individuals.

Introduction: Platelets carry VEGF-A, serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin stimulates and dopamine inhibits tumor angiogenesis. We hypothesized that platelets are activated in tumor vasculature and release angiogenic factors, resulting in lower platelet serotonin and dopamine.

#1099 Niacin (vitamin B3) Suppletion in Patients with Serotonin Producing Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Tryptophan is the precursor of serotonin and niacin (vitamin B3), critical for normal cellular metabolism. Tryptophan and niacin can be deficient in patients with serotonin producing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Niacin deficiency can lead to symptoms including pellagra.
