Hemodynamic Stability During Pheochromocytoma Resection: Lessons Learned Over the Last Two Decades
Conclusions Postoperative outcomes following pheo resection have improved over the last two decades. Preoperative α-blockade plays a significant role in improving intraoperative hemodynamics and post-op outcomes. Increased doses of phenoxybenzamine and utilization of laparoscopic approaches have likely contributed to improved outcomes in the last decade. Intraoperative magnesium use may provide protection against hemodynamic instability and warrants further study.

1497p * lessons from the past: long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of a prematurely terminated, randomized phase iii trial of precautionary versus hemoglobin-based erythropoietin administration for chemotherapy-associated anemia in patients with solid tumors
Conclusions: Prophylactic administration of ESA for CIA in patients with solid tumors was associated with increased incidence of a composite of thrombosis-related adverse events, especially in patients receiving adjuvant treatment, but did not have a detrimental impact on relapse/progression and survival rates.Disclosure: All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
