#1238 Use of Everolimus in a Patient with Metastatic Bronchial Carcinoid Receiving Hemodialysis.

Introduction: Renal impairment may alter the normal pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of chemotherapy drugs, thus increasing the risk of side effects. Everolimus was reported to have anti-tumor activity in bronchial neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Safety and toxicity profile of everolimus has been provided in hemodialyzed patients with renal cell carcinoma. Only a report describes the effect of everolimus in a patient with metastatic ileac carcinoid in hemodialysis.

#1150 Platelet Serotonin But Not Dopamine Concentrations Are Lower in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Compared to Healthy Individuals.

Introduction: Platelets carry VEGF-A, serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin stimulates and dopamine inhibits tumor angiogenesis. We hypothesized that platelets are activated in tumor vasculature and release angiogenic factors, resulting in lower platelet serotonin and dopamine.
