Rare Case of Neuroendocrine Metastasis to the Left Ventricle

JACC: Case Reports
Carcinoid syndrome is a constellation of signs and symptoms caused by different hormones produced by carcinoid tumors. Very rarely, those tumors can metastasize to the heart and cause cardiac involvement of the tumor. This study presents a very rare case

Association rule mining of clinical and biomarker data in neuroendocrine tumors: A prospective study on disease progression

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract There is an unmet need for new methods to predict disease course in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). We investigated 92 putative cancer‐related plasma proteins including chromogranin A (CgA) and clinical parameters at the time of diagnosis to identify early factors associated with progressive (PD) or stable disease (SD).

Impact on symptoms and survival of bone metastases in patients with small‐intestinal neuroendocrine tumours

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract We aimed to assess the symptoms and impact on overall survival (OS) from bone metastases (BM) diagnosed on Gallium‐68‐labelled DOTA tyrosine octreotide positron emission tomography with computed tomography (68Ga‐DOTATOC‐PET/CT) in patients with well‐differentiated small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (Si‐NETs).

Clinical outcomes of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms in Taiwan: A multicenter registry study—TCOG T1214 study

Cancer, Volume 131, Issue 17, 1 September 2025.
Abstract Background Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) account for more than 50% of all NENs. The survival of patients with GEP‐NENs has improved based on early diagnosis and improved treatment strategies. The real‐world data of GEP‐NENs in Taiwan are limited.
