#4642 Establishing a standardised histopathological grading system for mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Mesenteric fibrosis (MF) frequently develops around mesenteric metastasis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour (SI-NET) patients. Since MF is not always detected radiologically, histopathological examination is considered the gold standard. However, there is no uniform histopathological scoring system for MF correlated with clinical data.

#4578 Dissecting the role of collagen quantitation via tissue-tethered digital analysis in small bowel neuroendocrine tumours and related mesenteric tumour deposits

Introduction: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (sb-NETs) and related mesenteric tumour deposits (MTDs) can present dense collagen and fibrosis. Despite well-known clinical consequences of this characteristic (bowel obstruction and ischemia), the relationship between SB-NETs and MTDs collagen deposition has been poorly evaluated.

#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.
