#1912 Skeletal-Related Events (SREs) and Use of Antiresorptive Therapy (ART) in Patients with Bone Metastases of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Introduction: Antiresorptive therapy (ART) with bisphosphonates or denosumab is effective in preventing skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases (BM). In neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), BM are a negative prognostic factor, however tend to be asymptomatic and SREs are considered rare. The role of ART in preventing SREs in NEN has not been investigated so far.
