Abstracts

EN

Neuroendocrine tumours are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms. Most of the patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease and curative surgery is rarely an option. Somatostatin analogues have been shown to control the symptoms and growth of well-differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. Octreotide LAR is one of the treatment options.
