#1560 Cannabinoids as Inhibitor of Tumour Growth and Invasiveness in Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Cancer

Introduction: Tumour cell invasion and proliferation is a key factor for the prognosis and progression of cancer. A recent study revealed that cannabinoids can inhibit tumour invasion and proliferation in breast cancer through the down-regulation of ID-1, an inhibitor of helix-turn-helix transcription factors.

#1115 Cancer Stem Cells in Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Cell Line P-STS: Isolation and Molecular Characterisation

Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a small subpopulation of tumour cells responsible for invasive tumour growth. Even though the presence of CSCs in neuroendocrine tumours is documented, their role in neuroendocrine tumourigenesis and metastasis is not defined as yet.
