#4536 Follow-up is not justified in patients with typical lung carcinoids treated with curative intent

Introduction: Typical carcinoids (TC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung with generally favourable prognosis. Recurrence is rare in TC patients treated with curative intent, yet current ENETS guidelines recommend extensive follow-up, including regular and long-term imaging.

#4418 Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is a safe and efficient treatment of symptomatic insulinomas – A single centre experience of 14 patients

Introduction: The vast majority of insulinomas are benign and less than 20 mm. Surgery is considered as standard treatment, but complications are significant. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) represents a novel and minimally invasive approach.

#4359 Treatment response and survival in 163 metastatic colorectal neuroendocrine carcinomas: A prospective cohort from the Nordic NEC registry

Introduction: Colorectal neuroendocrine carcinoma (CR-NEC) is a rare and aggressive disease. Most cases are metastatic at diagnosis and palliative chemotherapy is the only systemic treatment option.

#3682 Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of low-grade insulinomas

Introduction: Insulinomas are rare pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms that may cause significant symptoms and substantially reduce quality of life. In resectable patients, the current treatment recommendation is surgery with either enucleation or resection of all or parts of the gland. This treatment may be associated with high morbidity and long convalescence. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is a new and minimally invasive treatment for patients with insulinomas.
