#3849 Is patient's BMI representative of their body composition in neuroendocrine tumors?

Introduction: Up to 60% of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are malnourished. This negatively impacts survival, length of hospital stay, risk of complications, treatment response, fatigue and quality of life. Malnutrition is typically defined by body mass index (BMI) or weight loss, which provides no information on body composition. Research in other cancers has shown sarcopenia is more significant than BMI. Information is lacking on the influence of anthropometric parameters in NETs.

#382 Invaded, Moderately Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Larynx

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasm is extremely unusual and rare in the larynx. It accounts for less than 1% of all laryngeal malignancies. According to the origin, this tumor can be divided into neural and epithelial groups and epithelial origin tumors are further sub-classified based on the degree of differentiation (well-, moderately and poorly differentiated).
