#2819 Occurrence of Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency in Patients with Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumours Treated with Somatostatin Analogue

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasia (NENs) are heterogeneous tumours caracterized by a relatively indolent rate of growth. Usually, in G1 and G2 GEP-NENs, first-line therapy is SSAs, considering their efficacy, good safety profile, and antiproliferative effects. SSA treatment inhibits the production and excretion of pancreatic enzymes and PEI is known to be an adverse effect of SSA treatment.

#2772 Vitamin Supplementation and a Personalized Diet in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors: The DIVIT Study

Introduction: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are at risk for vitamin deficiencies and poor nutritional status due to excessive serotonin production, diarrhea, previous gastrointestinal surgery, and/or treatment with somatostatin analogues (SSA). Little knowledge exists about vitamin deficiency and how patients should be supported for the deficiencies they develop during their long-lasting disease.

#2078 Self-Reported Side Effects in Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Patients Prescribed Somatostatin Analogues – The Role for Specialist Dietitians and Nurses

Introduction: In practice, many patients with NETs report a change in symptoms after starting somatostatin analogues (SSA’s). Many health professionals and NET patient advocates have noticed that some of the side effects experienced by patients are more common than patient information literature suggests. It is therefore important to ask what and how severe experiences are, and compare to literature, to help raise awareness amongst NET health professionals.
