#1182 Epirubicin Loaded Polyphosphazene; A New Agent Against Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors and Medullary Thyroid Carcinomas

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) represent a group of rare neoplasms, derived mainly from enterochromaffine cells. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor arising from the parafollicular C-cells. SI-NETs as well as MTCs are known for their poor response to standard therapy. Therefore, there is a substantial need to establish new therapeutic options in the clinical treatment of these tumors.

#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.
