#4537 The usefulness of circulating fibrosis markers in detection of carcinoid heart disease

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a potential serious fibrotic complication in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), affecting the heart valves. Early detection is crucial to avoid severe manifestations. NT-proBNP is suggested as an initial screening tool in detection of CHD; however, the value of NT-proBNP as a screening tool is questionable.

#4536 Follow-up is not justified in patients with typical lung carcinoids treated with curative intent

Introduction: Typical carcinoids (TC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung with generally favourable prognosis. Recurrence is rare in TC patients treated with curative intent, yet current ENETS guidelines recommend extensive follow-up, including regular and long-term imaging.

#4110 The role of fibrosis markers in predicting decline in renal function in patients undergoing PRRT

Introduction: Renal impairment due to renal fibrosis is a potential side effect in NET-patients undergoing Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT). Fibrosis markers are small collagen formation - and degradation fragments that are measurable in circulation at very early stages of fibrosis formation.

#3736 Risk of complications after biopsy in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

Introduction: Core needle biopsy (CNB) has been used with caution in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) due to concerns about catecholamine-related complications. While it is unclear what scientific evidence supports this claim, it has limited the acquisition of biological samples for diagnostic purposes and research, especially in metastatic PPGL.
