#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.

#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.

#3076 Endometrial Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Introduction: Endometrial small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (ESCNEC) is extremely rare. It is characterized by early regional and systemic spread leading to rapid development of lymph nodes, pelvic and extrapelvic metastasis and compromising the outcome.

#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.

#3070 Activity and Safety of Avelumab in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: Our Experience

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. The use of checkpoint inhibitors has shown good results in the treatment of advanced MCC. Avelumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor able to prevent the inactivation of the T lymphocytes. We report a serie of consecutive MCC cases treated with Avelumab in two centres
