#4288 A virtual patient handbook

Introduction: Neuroendocrine cancer has lower public recognition than more common cancer types and when this is combined with geographical inequalities in neuroendocrine cancer care across the UK, patients can often find themselves reliant on online resources to educate themselves about the disease.

#3400 Addressing professional development needs in neuroendocrine cancer nursing

Introduction: Adult Neuroendocrine Cancer nursing is a highly specialised field where expertise in both knowledge and appropriate skills can make a significant contribution - especially in the promotion and maintenance of high standards of practice, education for the patient and the application of safe evidence-based knowledge and skills the patient requires when diagnosed with a rare disease.

#1559 MTOR Controls an Epigenetic Program Leading to Autophagy and Cell Growth Control

Introduction: Makroautophagy represents an evolutionary highly conserved process involved in the clearance of proteins and organelles. The induction of this central cellular process is tightly connected with programs regulating cell growth control. While the cytoplasmic machinery that orchestrates autophagy is relatively well understood the key epigenetic events that initiate autophagy-related cell growth programs remain largely unknown.

#260 Risk of Hepatic and Gastrointestinal (GI) Events in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET)

Introduction: NET derives from peptide- and hormone-producing cells scattered throughout the body. In excess, these can lead to many clinical manifestations, including GI events (ex. enteritis, and liver disease).
