#3320 TGF-β increase caspase activation and migration in typical bronchial carcinoids

Introduction: Typical bronchial carcinoids (TBC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) whose management can still be very challenging due to reduced sensitivity to therapy. Previous studies have reported TGF-β’s ability to activate mTOR pathway and induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, preliminary results show an overexpression of TGF-β signalling and caspase activation in TBC.

#3084 Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH): A Case Report and Review of Literature

Introduction: Majority of euroendocrine tumorsare found in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary. Multifocal disease is common among patients with low-grade NET. One example of this is diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. DIPNECH is an extremely rare but indolent disease with predilection for nonsmoking, middle-aged women.

#3081 An Atypical Presentation of a Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Unknown Origin

Introduction: Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) of unknown primary site are uncommon. Most arise from an occult/clinically undetectable primary. Primary NEC of genitourinary tract are rare. High-grade (HG) carcinoms, are rapidly growing and aggressive but usually responsive to platinum-based combination chemotherapy.

#3075 Telotristat Makes Significant Difference on Symptoms and Serotonin Levels in a Population with Widespread GI-NET and Severe Carcinoid Syndrome

Introduction: In spite of new treatments like PRRT or everolimus there is a clinical need for systemic therapies that complement SSAs (somatostatin analogs) and antidiarrheal agents in the treatment of carcinoid syndrome, a late stage problem in s-i-NET. Telotristat is a promising addition to our therapeutic arsenal.
