#4656 Development of a 3D patient-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel model of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour and mesenteric fibrosis

Introduction: The pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) is poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments and biomarkers. A major barrier to research is the lack of disease models.

#4455 Multicentric ENETS morphological and molecular appraisal of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (HG-GEP-NEN): Distinguishing NET G3 from NEC

Introduction: HG-GEP-NEN are classified into neuroendocrine tumours grade 3 (NET G3) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC). This distinction is crucial as it affects patient prognosis and treatments but can be challenging.

#4399 Updated data from a single-arm, open-label, multicentre clinical study on the efficacy and safety of surufatinib combined with EP regimen and serplulimab in first-line treatment of NEC

Introduction: NEC is an aggressive neuroendocrine neoplasm with limited treatment options. Surufatinib (SUR), a kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFRs, FGFR-1, and CSF-1R, improves vascular normalisation and tumour microenvironment, synergising with chemo- and immunotherapy.

#4041 Mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs): Pathogenesis and therapeutic targets

Introduction: Mesenteric fibrosis (MF) affects up to 50% of small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) patients, causing significant morbidity and mortality. MF pathophysiology is poorly understood, limiting treatment development and biomarker identification.

#3793 Decellularised pancreas explants as a novel 3D model for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) biomarker discovery

Introduction: The lack of preclinical models of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) challenges advancement in biomarker discovery. Culturing cancer cells in their native tissue enables the study of complex tumor cell-ECM interactions, products of which could be utilised as disease biomarkers.
