#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.

#2990 Pitfalls in Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Imaging

Introduction: Physiological pancreatico-duodenal DOTA-Exendin-4 uptake in the Brunner’s glands of the proximal duodenum occurs in Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) imaging and is a known potential pitfall.

#2958 The Blood-based Multigenomic NETest Accurately Identifies Neuroendocrine Transformed Prostate Cancer

Introduction: Neuroendocrine differentiation and an aggressive phenotype is an important feature of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Current biomarkers are unable to detect these advanced, treatment refractory variants.

#2944 Soluble ST2 (sST2) Levels in the Management of Carcinoid Heart Disease in Patients with Neuroendocrine Cancer

Introduction: The identification of a sensitive biomarker to detect the presence and severity of carcinoid heart disease could allow more selective use of clinical and echocardiographic screening. ST2 is a protein belonging to the family of interleukin 1 receptors, present both in the isoform of transmembrane (ST2L) and in the soluble one (sST2). sST2 blocks the anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertrophic, and anti-fibrotic effects of cytokine IL-33 on the myocardium and recent studies have shown that sST2 levels increase in the blood of patients diagnosed with heart failure.

#2936 Mutational Landscape of 109 High-Grade Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms G3

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) G3 are rare with a poor outcome. Molecular data for GEP NEN G3 is limited and the 2019 WHO classification is based on morphology and proliferation rate.
