#3090 Retrospective Experience with Pherochromocytoma (PH) and Paraganglioma (PG) in a Single Argentinian Institution

Introduction: Pherochromocytoma (PH) and paraganglioma (PG) are neuroendocrine tumors arising in cromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla or extra adrenal paraganglia respectively. Clinical presentation is diverse. All PG/PH have malignant potential. Hereditary cases comprise up to 40% of all PG/PH.

#3077 Insights into the Practice Patterns, Challenges and the Role of a Shared Care Model in the Management of Neuroendocrine (NET) Patients in the Community

Introduction: Management of NET patients often involves a multidisciplinary approach,requiring collaboration between referring oncologists,surgeons,endocrinologists locally and NET specialty centers (NSC).

#3072 Rb and p53 Status Determination by Immunochemistry Is Complementary in Routine Practice to Genetic Testing of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Introduction: Rb and p53 status may help distinguishing well from poorly differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) and may predict response to chemotherapy. Studies correlating Rb/p53 genetic and immunohistochemistry were performed on high-quality frozen samples with high throughput techniques efficient for copy number determination. This situation differs from routine practice in which small deletions may be hard to detect on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples with a gene panel approach.

#3070 Activity and Safety of Avelumab in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: Our Experience

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. The use of checkpoint inhibitors has shown good results in the treatment of advanced MCC. Avelumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor able to prevent the inactivation of the T lymphocytes. We report a serie of consecutive MCC cases treated with Avelumab in two centres

#3065 Intensive Personalized Program for Daily Living with Neuroendocrine Neoplasms as a Chronic Disease: Preliminary Results

Introduction: Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are increasingly viewed as chronic diseases as a result of more effective treatments and procedures. As with any life changing events, patient and family transition to a new “normal” requires attitudinal adjustments. The Intensive Personalized Program for Daily Living with Neuroendocrine Neoplasms is a pilot program transitioning patients and their primary familial carer to a new “normal”.
