#3448 Differential diagnosis of diarrhoea in patients with neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) frequently experience diarrhoea that can impact their quality of life. Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency (PEI), bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are potential causes. There is a limited data on prevalence of these conditions in NETs.

#3410 Quality of life and gastrointestinal symptoms according to phase of disease in patients with NETs

Introduction: The focus of management in neuroendocrine tumors (NETS) is to control tumor progression and to maintain health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The EORTC QLQ-GINET.21 has been validated to assess HRQoL in NETs although with limited data in different phases of disease. The Gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) has been used in functional gut disorders but given the predominance of gastrointestinal symptoms in NET patients it may be a useful tool in this population.
