#2896 Comparative Genomic Analysis of High Grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms across Diverse Organs

Introduction: Grade 3 neuroendocrine neoplasms (G3 NENs), if poorly differentiated, have a median survival of 10-19 months. Little is known regarding biologic differences between G3 NENs from different primary sites, most commonly GI and lung.

#2275 Analysis of Gene Expression Patterns of Rectum Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) Versus Healthy Tissue Reveals Alterations in the MAPK and WNT Signaling Pathways

Introduction: The neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the rectum are rare but increasing in incidence, by means of improved endoscopic techniques and histological reporting. They often occur as small polypoid lesions and G1, and in most cases an incidental finding at endoscopy.

#1199 Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes and PD-L1 Expression Differ in Low and High Grade Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Although much progress has been made in the past 2-3 years in terms of understanding signaling pathways in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NENs), approved treatment options are still limited. Cancer Immunotherapy has been announced as the breakthrough of the year in 2013 and might become an integral part of the clinical management strategy for solid tumors including GEP-NENs. Therefore, to develop immunotherapeutic strategies against NENs we need to know which immune escape mechanisms are relevant in high and low grade NEC/NENs.
