#4423 Exploring decorin in plasma-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as a potential diagnostic biomarker for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs), the most common site for GEP‑NENs in Asian countries, particularly India, have shown increasing incidence. Due to a lack of specific biomarkers, often detected at advanced stages. So, this study utilised PanNET tissue proteomics for cancer biomarker discovery and explored the impact of small extracellular cellular vesicles (sEVs) in PanNET growth and metastasis, as they reflect the molecular profile of their tissue of origin.

#4314 Understanding neuroendocrine cancer: A palliative care perspective in rural India

Introduction: Introduction: Neuroendocrine cancer (NEC) refers to rare tumours arising from cells that possess both neural and endocrine functions, affecting organs such as the pancreas, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. In rural India, limited access to specialised oncology care results in delayed diagnoses and insufficient support for NEC patients, making holistic palliative care essential for these communities.
