#96 Expression of components of the mTOR pathway in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Recently, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors have entered late phase clinical trials in a broad variety of solid human malignancies, including neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Since these drugs will certainly be used as routine therapeutics in the near future, it is surprising that information on the exact expression patterns of mTOR and its downstream target 4EBP1 in NETs is still lacking.
