Intro: A subset of pancreatic and gastric neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are associated with hypercalcaemia attributed to tumour secretion of parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP). Hypercalcaemia may be severe and refractory to conventional treatment....

Herein, we present the case of a 48yo Caucasian male diagnosed with a well differentiated (WD) pancreatic NET. At primary resection in 2014 pathological staging was pT3N1M0 R0 with Ki67 4%. 5 years later he developed recurrence in local lymph nodes and started on lanreotide followed by IRE on subsequent progression. In 2020, there was strongly DPET-avid metastases in mesenteric nodes and liver, so he was enrolled onto the COMPETE trial1. There was sequential progressive diseas...

Introduction: Perioperative mortality of patients who undergo heart valve surgery for carcinoid heart valve disease (CHVD) has been observed to be high (5–10%). We investigated whether peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) with Lutetium-177 Dotatate can be used safely in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) and CHVD and if there is an associated survival advantage by reducing overall exposure of the valves to high doses of vasoactive peptides.<p class="abstext"...
