#4288 A virtual patient handbook

Introduction: Neuroendocrine cancer has lower public recognition than more common cancer types and when this is combined with geographical inequalities in neuroendocrine cancer care across the UK, patients can often find themselves reliant on online resources to educate themselves about the disease.

#3718 Epidemiology of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) in England 2012-2018 – Home location, incidence and survival including access to neuroendocrine centres of excellence (CoE)

Introduction: Many cancers have been associated with environmental factors but these remain unexplored for NEN. Travel to and from a CoE can be a significant burden to patients. There is evidence that this impacts on treatment outcomes and survival in other cancers.

#3557 Final analysis of Chromogranin A for neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis in Chilean patients: An updated case-control study

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are highly heterogeneous and differ geographically. Serum chromogranin A (CgA) is the most used biomarker for NET diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 63-100% and specificity of 95-98% with a cutoff value of 108 ng/mL. Recent studies worldwide have reported varying frequencies of NET patients with high CGA at diagnosis, suggesting that the cutoff value may differ according to each population.
