#2050 Finding the Ways to Determine the Prognosis of Pulmonary Carcinoids with Certain Genes/Markers in Pakistan

Introduction: Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors are classified into four subtypes from well differentiated to poorly differentiated high grade large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas. Because of the difficult histological classification and a cancer free period following surgery, it is often difficult to predict certain prognostic factors.

#1115 Cancer Stem Cells in Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Cell Line P-STS: Isolation and Molecular Characterisation

Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a small subpopulation of tumour cells responsible for invasive tumour growth. Even though the presence of CSCs in neuroendocrine tumours is documented, their role in neuroendocrine tumourigenesis and metastasis is not defined as yet.

#462 Genome-Wide Expression Profiling Reveals Downregulation of OTP and CD44 and Upregulation of RET as Indicators of Poor Prognosis in Lung Carcinoids

Introduction: Lung carcinoids comprise a heterogeneous group of neuroendocrine tumors. Only few parameters have been identified that correlated with poor disease outcome, including 11q22-q25 deletions. New biomarkers are required to further improve diagnosis and prediction of prognosis.
