Carcinoid heart disease in Chilean NET patients with malignant carcinoid syndrome: Long-term cohort from a developing country
Introduction:
Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is an important cause of morbidity in patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and could be associated with poorer prognosis. There is scarce data about CHD in low and middle-income countries, and its impact has not been studied in Latin American patients.

Developing a customized database for NET in a developing country
Introduction:
The establishment of a neuroendocrine registry is extremely hard in developing countries. Many patients miss follow-up after surgical procedures and many die in different hospitals with a distinct national security health system number. As in any developing country, Brazil has a large movement of people to urban areas, making the tracking of former addresses impossible for patients who were treated some years prior. Therefore, it is more feasible to evaluate a demographic distribution of neuroendocrine tumors by topography or histological subtype, but the analysis of clinical events, such as progression-free survival, disease-free survival, time to progression or overall survival, is compromised.
