#1998 Vitamin D, Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Risk Assessment in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Some papers have recently described an association between neuroendrocrine tumors (NET) and both vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and low bone mineral density (BMD). The ten-year risk of osteoporotic fractures can be calculated with the FRAX algorithm.
