#4618 The exceptionally rare phenomenon of well-differentiated colon neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Colonic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared to other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated NECs, leading to unclear data on prevalence, clinical behaviour, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs.

#4570 Diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease continues to be late delayed

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a serious complication of neuroendocrine tumours. It affects patients with carcinoid syndrome and results from fibrotic deposits on the heart valves. It significantly impacts patient prognosis.

#4548 Carcinoid heart disease in patients with carcinoid syndrome and metastatic small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours: A single centre experience

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a significant complication of carcinoid syndrome (CS) in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SINET). Management is complex and more data is needed.

#4537 The usefulness of circulating fibrosis markers in detection of carcinoid heart disease

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a potential serious fibrotic complication in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), affecting the heart valves. Early detection is crucial to avoid severe manifestations. NT-proBNP is suggested as an initial screening tool in detection of CHD; however, the value of NT-proBNP as a screening tool is questionable.

#4245 Carcinoid heart in neuroendcrine tumor – Experience of medical departement oncology Oran, Algeria

Introduction: The carcinoid heart is present in approximately 20% of cases at the diagnosis of carcinoid dyndrome in neuroendocrine tumors, and will occur in approximately 50% of patients during follow-up. The consequence is the appearance of stenosing and/or leaking valvular diseases, responsible, eventually, right or left ventricular dysfunction and severe heart failure. Only surgical valve replacement treatment seems to be able to improve the prognosis, but at the cost of significant perioperative morbidity and mortality.
