#4239 Implementation of a new, nurse-led clinic (NLC) for neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients

Introduction: There is international evidence supporting nurse-led services for people with chronic diseases in reducing hospitalisations, symptom improvement and lifestyle, and patient satisfaction. Patients with NET often have high symptoms burden and psychosocial distress in the context of indolent disease. Our centre recently implemented a (NLC) to provide complex care support for patients with NET.

#4085 Disease-specific mortality in a single-center cohort of 427 patients with carcinoid syndrome

Introduction: The carcinoid syndrome (CS), the most prevalent hormonal syndrome in patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET), is associated with impaired survival. Due to the biological behaviour of NET and overall improvement in survival rates, patients with CS may not succumb to their disease. However, the contribution of NET-specific death in these patients is currently unknown.
