Everolimus Cumulative Dose and Dose Intensity in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Abstract #1578
Introduction: Everolimus represents a new treatment option for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).
Aim(s): The aim of this work is to assess if cumulative dose and dose intensity of everolimus may affect survival of advanced pNETs patients (pts).
Materials and methods: 111 pts (M/F=62/49,median age 54 years) were treated with everolimus for ≥3 months. Cumulative dose (CD) was defined as the total amount of everolimus taken by the pts despite delay or dose reductions; Dose Intensity (DI) was defined as everolimus dose delivered per time unit (mg/day) taken by the pts in a given period of time. According to a ROC analysis, pts were stratified into two groups, with CD<1500 mg (Group A) and CD≥1500 mg (Group B).

#1240 Targeted Therapies as First Line Option in Very Advanced Unresectable Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors are an entity of rare, heterogeneous group of tumors that can arise from different sites within the body. Although number of different treatment types and modalities exist, chemotherapy remains as the first line option in the management of advance pancreatic NETS (pNETS); two targeted therapies, sunitinib and everolimus remains available only for second line and beyond in Canada.
