#4564 Vasculogenic mimicry in neuroendocrine tumour across different primary sites

Introduction: Anti-angiogenesis treatments targeting VEGFRs, including Surufatinib and Cabozantinib, etc. showed better efficacy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NET) than NET of other primary sites. Recent clinical trial targeting tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated protein-1, leading to inhibition of vasculogenic mimicry (VM) showed contrary results to current VEGFRs-targeted treatments. However, VM of NET across different primary sites are yet to be understood.

#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.

#4396 Hypoxic microenvironment in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The hypoxic microenvironment is a hallmark of many solid tumours, including neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Hypoxia plays a crucial role in tumour progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. However, the specific mechanisms by which hypoxia influences NET behaviour remain poorly understood.

#4312 Developing innovative, genetically modified, proliferation-regulated patient-derived models representing human well-differentiated GEP-NETs for drug screening

Introduction: The slow-growing nature of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) has limited the development of clinically relevant models, hindering the discovery in the field.
