#4658 The nutritional status worsens over 5 years in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours on treatment with somatostatin analogues

Introduction: Malnutrition is common in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) treated with monthly somatostatin analogues (SSAs). Ideally all malnourished patients are offered nutritional support. However, clinical guidelines and data on the development and progression of malnutrition is lacking.

#4641 Case series: Tuberous sclerosis associated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours at a tertiary centre

Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominant condition which can increase the risk of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) (1). Patients with TSC undergo screening for renal tumours which may include pancreatic imaging (2). There are currently no screening guidelines for PanNETs in patients with TSC.

#4634 Management of hypercalcaemia of malignancy in neuroendocrine tumour patients – A case series

Introduction: Hypercalcaemia of malignancy (HM) rarely coexists with neuroendocrine tumours (NET). There are no precise guidelines for management of hypercalcaemia in NET.

#4625 Efficacy and safety of capecitabine-temozolomide (CAPTEM) regimen in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms – A systematic review and experience from NETwerk, a Belgian ENETS Center of Excellence

Introduction: Current treatment guidelines remain inconclusive due to scarcity of data regarding the optimal systemic treatment for metastatic gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NET) grade 3 and aggressive GEP-NET grade 2. Similarly, for metastatic pulmonary typical (TC) and atypical carcinoids (AC), the indication for chemotherapy is unclear. Recent evidence highlights a promising role for CAPTEM, combining temozolomide (TEM) with capecitabine (CAP), showing encouraging antitumoural activity and safety profiles for these indications.

#4606 Neuroendocrine mess – Ectopic Cushing syndrome and severe hypokalaemia

Introduction: Cushing Syndrome (CS) is the condition resulting from hypercortisolaemia. Ectopic Cushing Syndrome (ECS) is responsible for up to 20% of all CS cases. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are responsible for 10-20% of those cases.
