Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors are commonly seen in the gastrointestinal tract, but they are extremely rare in the gallbladder. In this study, sonographic and multidetector-row computed tomographic findings of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder are presented.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
