The determinants for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) recent burden are matters of debate. Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well established risks for several cancers even though no link with GEP-NETs was yet established. Our aim in this study was to investigate
OBJECTIVE
Hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) is a potentially serious side effect of everolimus therapy. We here report a case of severe HTG in an everolimus-treated patient and provide recommendations for its management.
METHODS
The patient was a 70-year-old woman, being treated with everolimus for a
BACKGROUND
The incidence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) has been increasing since the implementation of the screening colonoscopy. However, very little is known about risk factors associated with rectal NETs. We examined the prevalence of and the risk factors for rectal NETs in a Korean
The mTOR inhibitor everolimus is effective against advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). However, it can cause metabolic adverse events, such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. In this work we aimed at evaluating the impact of systemic and tumor lipid
Everolimus is an mTOR inhibitor, approved as a treatment for cancer and as an immunosuppressant agent in solid organ transplantation; it frequently produces toxic metabolic effects, particularly of the most severe kind. Its use can cause hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia;
Everolimus is an mTOR inhibitor commonly used to treat metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and renal cell carcinoma, and for posttransplant immunosuppression. This report presents a case of a 36-year-old man being treated with everolimus for a metastatic pNET who developed severe
FTIR-HSI (Fourier-Transform InfraRed HyperSpectral Imaging) provides hyperspectral images containing both morphological and chemical information. It is widely applied in the biomedical field to detect tumor lesions, even at the early stage, by identifying specific spectral biomarkers. Pancreatic
