#4659 Current role of systemic lanreotide therapy of patients with advanced, unresectable, non-metastatic paraganglioma / pheochromocytoma (PPGL) sporadic and hereditary

Introduction: Retrospective, performed in prospective manner single-arm, open-label, case series study to assess the efficacy of lanreotide in patients with unresectable, non-metastatic paraganglioma / pheochromocytoma (PPGL) spontaneous or germline mutations.

#4604 Germline predisposition to neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas (pNEN) based on mutations in DNA repair genes – BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CHEK2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM, APC, MUTYH, STK11

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas (pNEN) rank as the second most common epithelial neoplasms after pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with increasing prevalence and a mortality rate of 60%. Identifying germline mutations in DNA repair genes such as CHEK2, BRCA1/2, and MUTYH within pNEN cases may pave the way for personalised diagnostics and therapies.

#4570 Diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease continues to be late delayed

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a serious complication of neuroendocrine tumours. It affects patients with carcinoid syndrome and results from fibrotic deposits on the heart valves. It significantly impacts patient prognosis.

#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.
