Quality of life as a predictor for survival in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) has been shown to predict overall survival (OS) in several different malignancies, but not in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (siNET). We evaluated the influence of HRQoL on survival in patients with siNET. We included 85 patients with advanced siNET who completed the validated HRQoL

Telotristat ethyl affects tumour‐fibroblast crosstalk in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI‐NETs) are associated with mesenteric fibrosis, which causes significant morbidity and mortality. Telotristat ethyl was developed to treat carcinoid syndrome in SI‐NET patients. Recent studies indicated telotristat ethyl could have anti‐tumour activity; however, the mechanism remains unclear.
