#4539 Single-nucleus profiling of the tumour microenvironment in SI-NET patients

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are frequently present as multiple synchronous primary tumours in the small bowel. They are thought to arise from enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut, which account for less than 1% of the intestinal epithelium. Previously reported lack of shared somatic driver alterations in SI-NETs suggests that other, non-genetic mechanisms are likely involved in their tumorigenesis.

#3805 Transcriptomic analyses of multifocal ileal neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors are mostly located in the distal ileum with a high incidence of multiple synchronous primary tumors. To date, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chr18 has been the most frequent genomic event identified, occurring in ~60% of tumors. Recently, we showed that synchronous primary tumors from the same ileal NET patient display distinct somatic mutational profiles, including distinct patterns of chr18 LOH, suggesting these tumors originate independently. Thus, new mechanistic insights into multifocal ileal NETs are urgently needed.
