#1476 Efficacy of Everolimus and Somatostatin Analogs as Single Agents or in Combination in Human Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Primary Cultures

Introduction: Among the therapeutic options available for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, one targeted therapy, everolimus (RAD) has been approved for advanced progressive pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). It improve progression free survival but is not curative. Alterations of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in pNETs have given the rational for the use of this signaling pathway inhibitors.
