#1551 Establishment and Characterization of Three GEP-NEC Cell Lines for In Vitro and In Vivo Studies

Introduction: To date chemotherapeutic concepts applying cisplatin/etoposide for the treatment of highly aggressive GEP-NEC do not provide convincing results. Thus, there is an urgent need for NEC cell line models that provide a reliable experimental system in identifying novel therapeutic targets.

#1545 In Vivo Expression of Survivin and XIAP in Medullary Thyroid Carcimoma

Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for approximately 5 % of all thyroid malignancies. Although surgery remains the first line therapy with curative intention, for advanced MTC current chemotherapeutic regimes do not provide promising results. Consequently, the identification of biologically relevant biomarkers that are associated with MTC progression may provide novel therapeutic targets.
