#3075 Telotristat Makes Significant Difference on Symptoms and Serotonin Levels in a Population with Widespread GI-NET and Severe Carcinoid Syndrome

Introduction: In spite of new treatments like PRRT or everolimus there is a clinical need for systemic therapies that complement SSAs (somatostatin analogs) and antidiarrheal agents in the treatment of carcinoid syndrome, a late stage problem in s-i-NET. Telotristat is a promising addition to our therapeutic arsenal.

#3067 Somatostatin Analogs in Real‐World Practice for Patients with Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Single Institution Experience in the Ouest of Algeria (CHU Oran)

Introduction: The efficacy of somatostatin analogs (SSAs) were clearly established trough pivotal trials as first‐line agents for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), but their use in clinical practice is largely unknown.

#3055 Dynamics of Changes in Chromogranin A Concentration as a Prognostic Factor Radiopeptide Therapy in Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction: Chromogranin A (CgA) is a non-specific marker of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and its significantly increased level is an unfavorable prognostic factor while the decrease in CgA during biotherapy with somatostatin analogs (SSA) correlates with the increase in profession free survival (PFS).

#3048 Somatostatin Analogs or Active Surveillance in Sporadic Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Non-functioning (NF), sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) have usually an indolent behavior, but sometimes show an unpredictable aggressiveness. Surgery is the first-choice for localized tumors >2 cm. Unresectable or metastatic lesions expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are treated with Somatostatin analogs (SSAs). No evidence of SSAs efficacy exists in tumors ≤2 cm, for which active surveillance has been proposed.

#3047 Functional Consequence of β-Arrestin 1 Gene Knock-Out in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Line BON-1

Introduction: An important limiting factor influencing treatment efficacy of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with somatostatin analogs (SSA) is the availability of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on NETs. While downregulation or altered pattern of SSTR expression are important considerations, receptor internalization/desensitization by β-arrestins may be a crucial contributing factor. Interestingly, our previous study showed a preferential higher expression of β-arrestin 1 (ARRB1), in gastroenteropancreatic NETS (GEP-NETs) compared to pituitary adenomas.
