#4535 Survival and toxicity outcomes of somatostatin analogues vs. other systemic therapies as first-line palliative treatment for patients with extrapulmonary G2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours with a Ki-67 index between 10% and 20%

Introduction: In patients (pts) with an advanced well-differentiated (WD-NET) with a Ki-67>10% and ≤20% (“G2 high”), chemotherapy (ChT) or targeted therapies are the preferred first-line palliative options. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) may offer an alternative, yet randomised evidence is lacking.

#1097 Epigenetic Manipulation of the Somatostatin Receptor Type 2 in Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: The somatostatin receptor type 2 (sst2) is a target for treatment in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). However, variability in tumoral sst2 expression might lead to variability in response. Epidrugs could increase sst2 levels and improve response to somatostatin analogues (SSA).

#976 Upregulation of Somatostatin Receptor Type 2 Expression in Neuroendocrine Tumors by Epigenetic Modulation

Introduction: The somatostatin receptor type 2 (sst2) is a target for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). However, epigenetic mechanisms might account for the high variability in sst2 expression and treatment response between patients.
