#1528 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Cell Lines – An Update

Introduction: Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) originates from calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine C-cells of the thyroid gland. Mutations in the RET-proto-oncogene are associated with both sporadic and familial MTC. As MTC are poorly responsive to chemo- and radiation- therapy, surgery is the only curative treatment at the moment. The cytogenetics of MTC have been sparsely investigated because the cells are very difficult to cultivate. In the last three decades our research group has established 10 continues cell lines derived from primary tumor and lymph node metastasis of patients with either sporadic or hereditary MTC.

#1180 A Novel Human Cell Line from Familial Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

Introduction: Cell lines from hereditary medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC) are very rare, therefore, there is a substantial need to establish new cell lines. Here, we present a novel familial MTC (FMTC) cell line, designated SCHWE.

#317 Paraganglioma: Gallium-68 DOTOTATE PET CT Scanning, a Useful Addition to MIBG Scanning in Metastatic Disease

Introduction: Nuclear imaging forms an important part of the assessment of chromaffin cell tumors. MIBG scintigraphy has been available for some time, while 68Ga-DOTATATE PET CT is increasingly utilized.

#224 Primary Renal Somatostatinoma with Hepatic Metastases

Introduction: Somatostatinomas are rare gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) with a primary lesion that is invariably localized to the pancreas (40%) or duodenum or jejunum (50%).
