#732 Impact of Prior Chemotherapy (CT) and Somatostatin Analogues (SSAs) on Clinical Outcome in Well-Differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pWDNETs) before Treatment of Everolimus (EV)

Introduction: In the phase III RADIANT-3 trial, EV demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS with a median of 11.0 v. 4.6 months (mo) for placebo in pWDNETs pts.

#648 Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Expression Analysis and Therapeutic Approach in Primitive (T) and Metastatic (M) Ileal Neuroendocrine Tumors (INT)

Introduction: mTOR signalling pathway has emerged as a promising target for well-differentiated endocrine pancreatic carcinoma therapy. Because of varying behavior, INT are usually excluded from clinical trials employing the mTOR inhibitor, RAD001.

#646 Immunohistochemical (IHC) and Cytogenetic Approach for Improving Diagnosis and Therapy of Ewing Sarcoma (ES)/pPNET Arising in the Ileocecal Region

Introduction: ES/pPNET primary to the ileocecal region (IpPNET) have been rarely reported on and show close similarities in histology and clinical presentation with small round blue cell tumors. The EWS gene is fused to four members of the ETS family.

#645 Loss of Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDHB) in Midgut Carcinoids as Prognostic Factor: A New Marker of Personalized Cancer Medicine in Neuroendocrine Tumors?

Introduction: Gene mutations of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex are involved in the pathogenesis of cancer cells and play a pivotal role in angiogenesis and cell proliferation. The immunoistochemical (IHC) loss of SDHB is a marker of malignancy in pheocromocytomas and paragangliomas.

#581 Loss of Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDHB) Expression in Midgut Carcinoids as Prognostic Factor: a New Marker of Personalized Cancer Medicine in Neuroendocrine Tumors?

Introduction: Gene mutations of SDH complex have been involved in the pathogenesis of cancer cells. These mutations are often associated with loss of activity of SDH subunity B and overexpression of HIF-1a, which play a central role in angiogenesis.
