#3642 GP-patient interactions and coding of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in primary care records

Introduction: Diagnostic delays in NETs are common with improved diagnosis times recently shown in Wales. Although studies have explored GP visits, these are based on patient surveys with recall bias and no exploration of GP coded data.

#3448 Differential diagnosis of diarrhoea in patients with neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) frequently experience diarrhoea that can impact their quality of life. Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency (PEI), bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are potential causes. There is a limited data on prevalence of these conditions in NETs.

#3444 Earlier diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) through transformation of the South Wales NET Service

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are heterogeneous cancers, arising mainly from the gastroenteropancreatic tract. Delayed diagnosis and mislabelling are widely recognised internationally in midgut NETs with little data describing how to improve diagnosis times. In 2017, transformation of the South Wales NET Service included a change to a gastroenterology-led service model, alongside education and forming working relationships with gastroenterologists and surgeons.
