Controversies in NEN: An ENETS position statement on the treatment of patients with Grade 3 well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumours of the gastro‐enteropancreatic tract

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Grade 3 neuroendocrine tumours (NET G3) represent approximately 20% of high‐grade neuroendocrine neoplasms, and the recent identification of this entity has given rise to many unanswered questions relating to clinical management. The prognosis for these patients is worse than for those with Grade 1–2 well‐differentiated NET, but better than ...

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

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
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, EarlyView.
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.
