#4599 Endosonography guided coloenterostomy for management of malignant small bowel ileus

Introduction: Small-bowel ileus (SBI) is often decisive for the prognosis in midgut neuroendocrine tumours (NET) and other peritoneally metastasised neoplasias. Conventional procedures of palliative care deliver unsatisfying results.

#4537 The usefulness of circulating fibrosis markers in detection of carcinoid heart disease

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a potential serious fibrotic complication in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), affecting the heart valves. Early detection is crucial to avoid severe manifestations. NT-proBNP is suggested as an initial screening tool in detection of CHD; however, the value of NT-proBNP as a screening tool is questionable.
