The aim of the current study was to evaluate in patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (1) T and K concentrations; (2) correlation with clinical outcome; (3) relationship between IDO activity and inflammatory cytokines. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the IDO pathway in patients in follow-up for NET. Clinicopathological features, serum levels of K and T through liquid chromatography, and serum assay of cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-22, IL-23, TNF-\u03b1) through MAGPIX were evaluated. Results: Seventy-eight NET patients were enrolled (66 lung, 12 pancreatic): 69.2% were in postoperative remission, 14.1% in stable disease, and 16.7% in disease progression. T was significantly lower in patients older than 65 years (p = 0.003). K and T were significantly lower in patients with progression (p = 0.03, p = 0.004, respectively). T was an independent predictor factor of progression in multivariable analysis (p = 0.041). A cutoff of 7.74 \u03bcg\/mL significantly differentiates patients with progression and those with stable disease. IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly associated with tumor progression in univariate analysis (p = 0.005, p = 0.001, respectively) but not in the multivariable analysis. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between T and IL-10 (r = \u22120.366, p value = 0.04). Conclusion: The K\/T pathway may play a role as a potential predictor of tumor progression in NET. These findings need to be validated in large prospective studies investigating its metabolites as both prognostic and predictive factors for treatment response.
