#3411 Cannabinoids and the Endocannabinoid System as modulatory targets in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) – Possible mechanisms and antitumor efficacy

Introduction: Patients with unresectable NENs are offered a variety of non-curable therapeutic options, which eventually fail due to drug resistance (DR). Increasing evidence suggest an anticancer trait of cannabinoids, via cellular pathways including mTOR, known to be associated with DR development. Still, limited data exist on the anti-cancer effects of cannabinoids in NENs.

#3243 The major impact of proGRP monitoring in advanced atypical lung carcinoid: A case report

Introduction: Atypical lung carcinoids (aLC) are more aggressive than typical carcinoids, metastasizing more commonly to distant sites, and require vigilant follow-up. However, the surveillance is often hampered by the non-informative Chromogranin A (CgA) levels.

#3023 The Major Role of Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET)-Specialist Nurse in Improving NET Patients Disease-related QoL - Preliminary Data

Introduction: There is increasing evidence regarding the key role of dedicated specialist nurses in the treatment of cancer patients. Nurse coordinators serves as an available, accessible and knowledgeable resource for both patient and patient's family, more than the general registered nurses. They know better how to control symptoms and work as team players with multiple care providers.
