OBJECTIVE
We report the presentation and novel therapy of a calcitonin-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) and review the literature on this unusual neoplasm.
METHODS
We cite the history of a 38-year-old male who presented with fatigue, weight loss, and diarrhea and was found to have a
A 63-year-old woman was admitted with a year's history of exertional breathlessness, anxiety attacks, syncopal episodes, diarrhoea, fatigue, reduced appetite, 2 stones weight loss, and flushing affecting her face and trunk. Investigations revealed raised urine 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA)
Streptozocin (STZ) administration with or without other cytotoxic drugs remains a crucial chemotherapy for patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (Pan-NENs). However, the therapeutic effects of combination treatment with weekly STZ and oral S-1 therapy (STS1) remain A 61-year-old man, without noteworthy medical history, presented with complaints of progressive fatigue and flushes. Diagnostic imaging revealed a large tumour in the stomach with liver metastases, and histopathological examination showed a well-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumour (NET).
BACKGROUND
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare, and when metastatic NETs are incurable, the tumours are frequently slowly growing. Patients may be confronted with disease-specific problems and distinct issues when accessing health-care. We aimed to assess perceptions of care coordination,
Supportive care of patients with functional neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has evolved to include the use of multiple targeted agents to control paraneoplastic states and newer surgical and interventional radiologic techniques to reduce tumor bulk. Challenges encountered by the clinician are the
BACKGROUND
The objective of this paper was to assess the safety and efficacy of sunitinib malate in patients with well-differentiated metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) who relapsed on standard therapy.
METHODS
Overall, eight patients with well-differentiated pancreatic
BACKGROUND
Patients with advanced well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (Wd-NETs) are commonly treated with somatostatin analogues (SSAs). Some patients may develop SSA-related side effects such as pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI).
METHODS
In this prospective, observational study, the
Objective: To examine patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who receive sequential treatment with somatostatin analogs. Materials and Methods: This retrospective chart review examined lanreotide depot/autogel tolerability and efficacy among
Carboplatin is characterized by low nephrotoxicity, including acute tubular necrosis (ATN), compared to a conventional platinum complex due to its low accumulative property in the renal tubules. Therefore, there are extremely few reports of carboplatin-induced kidney injury and only one case has
CONCLUSIONS
Rate of progression-free survival at a particular point in time, i.e., a landmark analysis, is a difficult endpoint for a heterogenous malignancy such as neuroendocrine cancer.Landmark analyses can also be complicated by evolution in the standard of care during the conduct of a clinical
Thymic neuroendocrine tumor (TNET) is very rare and characterized by a tendency to invade adjacent structures, frequent metastasis, resistance to therapy, and a poor prognosis. Viscum album extracts (VAE) have shown immunological, apoptogenic, and cytotoxic BACKGROUND
This study sought to determine the safety of single agent capecitabine, a pro-drug of 5FU, in patients with metastatic non-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
METHODS
Multicentre phase II, first-line study design. Oral capecitabine was administered on days 1-14 of 3-week
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are understudied and have limited systemic treatment options. Prior studies for patients with advanced NETs have demonstrated promising results when antimetabolite agents, including fluoropyrimidines, were combined with temozolomide TMZ. TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil)
On May 20, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sunitinib malate capsules (Sutent®; Pfizer, Inc., New York) for the treatment of progressive, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease. In a
