#1064 Development of Effective Prophylaxis Against Intraoperative Carcinoid Crisis

Introduction: Patients with foregut and midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can experience life-threatening carcinoid crises during anesthesia. The prophylactic use of a pre-, intra- and post-operative high dose continuous octreotide infusion was evaluated for its ability to prevent carcinoid crises during cytoreductive surgeries.

#594 Neurokinin A Levels Predict Survival in Patients with Well-Differentiated Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Recent European investigations demonstrated that persistently elevated (> 50 pg/ml) plasma neurokinin A (NKA) levels are associated with poor short-term survival in patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETS).

#386 A Prospective Evaluation of the Effects of Chronic Proton Pump Inhibitor Use on Plasma Biomarker Levels in Humans

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used primarily to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. PPI-induced achlorhydria increases circulating gastrin and chromogranin A (CGA). CGA is a widely used biomarker for the diagnosis and follow-up for gut-based neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). PPI-induced increases in CGA or gastrin may falsely suggest the presence of a NET when none exists. Pancreastatin, a fragment of CGA, is also commonly used to diagnose and follow NETs.

#385 Treatment of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor (NETS): A Single Center's Experience

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETS) of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, slow-growing neoplasms. Long-term management of these tumors varies among centers.
