#4649 Claudin 18.2 overexpression in gastric neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Claudin 18.2, is a tissue biomarker physiologically expressed in both healthy gastric mucosa and gastric adenocarcinoma which represents a novel therapeutic target advanced gastric cancer. Various other cancers showed some overexpression of claudin 18.2 opening potential opportunities to agnostic targeted therapy. However, data about claudin 18.2 expression in NENs are poor with only an Eastern study showing higher rate of claudin 18.2 positivity in GEP-NENs, mainly from gastric primary site (27.8%).

#4647 Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour cells in a 3D spheroid model

Introduction: At diagnosis, over 50% of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) have metastasised to the mesentery where they often induce extensive fibrosis. Recent studies highlight the crucial interaction between SI-NET cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis (MF).

#4628 Triple negative breast neuroendocrine carcinoma in older patient: A rare entity

Introduction: Neuroendocrine breast carcinoma is a rare histological form of breast cancer, that represent 0.1% of all breast cancers and is recognised by the World Health Organization as a distinct entity. Characterised by a non-specific clinical and radiological presentation. Therapeutic management is not codified and is usually superimposed on that of classical breast cancer.

#4622 Elucidating the role of high mobility group box 3 (Hmgb3) during progression and response to radiation therapy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: We have recently demonstrated that HMGB3 is upregulated during the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) transition via dedifferentiation from a relatively benign molecular subtype to an aggressive and highly metastatic molecular subtype. HMGB3 expression has recently been linked to resistance to therapy, metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients with various solid cancers.
