#4657 Should we use the growth modulation index (GMI) in response assessment in G2 neuroendocrine tumours (NETs)?

Introduction: Grade 2 (G2) neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) exhibit diverse behaviours ranging from indolent to aggressive malignancies. Growth Modulation Index (GMI) is the ratio between time to progression (TTP) with a line of therapy (TTPn) and that of the previous line of therapy (TTPn-1). A GMI value equal to or greater than 1,33 has been suggested as an indicator of clinical effectiveness beyond traditional metrics.

#4459 Sequential alkylating therapy and pembrolizumab induce near-complete response in high tumour mutational burden pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour: A case report

Introduction: Traditional treatment for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), including surgery, somatostatin therapy, and targeted therapy, often fails in advanced disease. Alkylating therapy can increase tumour mutational burden (TMB), and the recent KEYNOTE-158 study approved pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumours with a high TMB.

#4409 The value of NETest 2.0 in stratifying patients with suspected NEN for formal diagnostic evaluation – Real-world data

Introduction: An unmet need in NEN diagnosis is better risk stratification for individuals with suspected disease (based on symptoms or imaging), enabling efficient identification of those needing further evaluation and tissue diagnosis, thus speeding the process and reducing costs. NETest 2.0, a biomarker based on a 51-gene mRNA panel, was developed for diagnosing neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN).
