#4303 Carcinoid crisis: Insights from an ENETS Center of Excellence

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare tumours, with up to 30% being functional and associated with carcinoid syndrome (CS). CS commonly presents with flushing, diarrhoea, and hemodynamic instability, and can progress to carcinoid crisis (CC), a severe, potentially fatal complication during surgery or other invasive procedures. The use of prophylactic octreotide infusion peri-operatively remains controversial. The lack of a universal CC definition also poses a challenge for standardised outcome assessments.
