#1436 Up-Regulation of the Immunoregulatory Enzyme Indoleamine-2,3-Dioxygenase (IDO) with Consecutive Tryptophan Depletion Predicts Death in Patients with Neuroendocrine Neoplasia

Introduction: Data from a considerable number of malignancies demonstrate that depletion of the essential amino acid tryptophan via induction of the immuno-regulatory enzyme Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) serves as an important tumour escape strategy and is of prognostical importance.

#1077 Signs of Carcinoid Heart Disease on Staging CT: Which Predictors are Helpful?

Introduction: In patients with functionally active neueroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) carcinoid heart disease presenting primarily with tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is crucial to improve prognosis.
