#1586 Biomarkers for Carcinoid Heart Disease

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) develops in patients with carcinoid syndrome. Currently NT-proBNP (NTP) is suggested as the best current biomarker to screen for CHD and monitor heart failure. A number of other markers have been investigated for heart failure.

#1332 NT-proBNP is Superior to ST2 and Galectin-3 Cardiac Markers in Identifying Carcinoid Heart Disease in Small Bowel NET Patients

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) develops in small bowel neuroendocrine tumour (sbNET) patients with carcinoid syndrome (CS). NT-proBNP (NTP) is suggested as the best current biomarker to screen and monitor for HF from CHD. A number of other markers, such as Galectin-3 (GAL3) and ST2 (or IL-1 R4), have been explored to diagnose and prognosticate in HF but have not been explored in NET patients with CS and CHD.

#1177 An Isolated Abnormal Chromogranin B Is Associated with Pancreato-Duodenal NETs and the Presence of Liver Metastases

Introduction: Chromogranin B (CgB) is a soluble secretory protein like chromogranin A (CgA) that has been reported to be elevated in patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) but is not routinely assessed.

#684 Clinical Characteristics and Survival of Neuroendocrine Tumors of Unknown Primary
