#4656 Development of a 3D patient-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel model of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour and mesenteric fibrosis

Introduction: The pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) is poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments and biomarkers. A major barrier to research is the lack of disease models.

#4650 Whole exome sequencing in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms: Findings from a pilot investigation

Introduction: The molecular landscape of lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is still poorly characterised. Lung NETs main prognostic factors currently include stage, histotype, grade, location, and demographic parameters, but molecular biomarkers are still not available, limiting the possibility for personalised therapeutic strategies.

#4646 Dysregulated miRNA in patients with GEP-NEN and potential role as circulating biomarker

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a class of rare and molecularly extremely heterogeneous tumours. NENs arise predominantly in the gastrointestinal (GEP) and pulmonary tracts but can also involve thyroid and breast. NENs often present with non-specific symptoms and lack early specific biomarkers, leading to frequent metastatic diagnoses and primary site challenges.

#4617 Analysis of new immunohistochemical biomarkers in a cohort of pancreatic NETs

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are rare diseases with a 10-year survival rate of only 40-50%. The ATRX, DAXX and ARX, PDX1 expressions in PanNETs were considered poor prognostic factors in some studies, but inconsistent in others.

#4613 Correlation of serum cytokeratin 18, ferritin, cancer antigen 125, and beta-2 microglobulin with tumour grade and stage in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) remain challenging to diagnose, with limited reliable serum biomarkers available for early detection and prognostication.
