#1528 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Cell Lines – An Update

Introduction: Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) originates from calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine C-cells of the thyroid gland. Mutations in the RET-proto-oncogene are associated with both sporadic and familial MTC. As MTC are poorly responsive to chemo- and radiation- therapy, surgery is the only curative treatment at the moment. The cytogenetics of MTC have been sparsely investigated because the cells are very difficult to cultivate. In the last three decades our research group has established 10 continues cell lines derived from primary tumor and lymph node metastasis of patients with either sporadic or hereditary MTC.

#589 Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and Diffusion weighted MRI: a better tool for detection?

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are often difficult to detect because of small size. Because surgery is curative in localized pNETs, preoperative localization is necessary.
