Controversies in NEN: An ENETS position statement on nutritional support in neuroendocrine neoplasms

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) themselves and also their treatment may cause malnutrition, inducing changes in physiological behaviour and eventually leading to increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition is a common, under‐recognised and under‐treated condition in patients with NEN, and there are limited data available on the ...

Biomarkers of acromegaly [PDF]

Endocrine, 2015
The papers of Kiseljak-Vassiliades et al. [1] and Selek et al. [2] published in this issue are significant because they focus on an important and unresolved problem of pituitary tumor prognosis, progression, and treatment. Many years ago, pituitary tumors were classified based only on their tinctorial properties using the hematoxylin—eosin stain and ...

Tumor‐infiltrating immune cells predict the response to somatostatin receptor ligands only in somatotropinomas naïve to medical therapy

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tumor‐infiltrating immune cells (TICs) are important components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). They regulate somatotroph adenoma treatment responses to therapy with somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), mediated by soluble factors and cytokines. In this study, we assessed the effect of SRLs treatment on TICs.
