#1884 Towards Optimal Personalized Diet and Vitamin Supplementation in NET Patients; A Feasibility Study

Introduction: Patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) often have gastro-intestinal complaints due to somatostatin analogue (SSA), tumor mass, secretion of neuroendocrine amines or treatment. This can lead to impaired absorption of critical food components such as vitamins. Serotonin producing NET patients may also have low plasma tryptophan.
