#4424 Tumour-derived apolipoprotein E induces tip endothelial cell to remodel tumour stroma ratio and promote pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour progression

Introduction: Current clinical trials have shown that single-targeted matrix administration does not improve patient prognosis. The investigation of targeted matrix administration in combination with other therapies is crucial for effectively managing TSR in pNETs.

#4406 Fluorescence labelled plasma derived small extracellular vesicle as biomarkers in metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour patients

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNET) are rare with increased annual incidence rate 1/lac. There are no specific biomarkers, diagnostic and prognostic tests available for PanNET. The small extracellular vesicles (sEV) play a key role in tumour growth and metastasis and can be a potential biomarker for metastasis of PanNET.

#4373 Focal adhesion kinase drives proliferation and invasion in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours via modulation of transformative cell signalling and gene expression

Introduction: Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein kinase that localises in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, influencing cell function through its enzymatic and scaffold activities. Through its scaffold function, FAK modulates gene expression epigenetically. Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours (GI-NETs) exhibit a relatively low mutation rate, supporting the hypothesis that these malignancies may be driven epigenetically. Recently, PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) technology has enabled selective inhibition and degradation of FAK, providing a novel approach to explore its role in GI-NETs.

#4254 Leak rates in pancreatico-duodenectomy procedures in pancreatic NETs compared to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma resections

Introduction: Pancreatic resection for Neuroendocrine tumor is associated with a higher risk of anastomotic leak and post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF).

#4158 Transcriptomic analysis of PanNET tumor progression from microtumor to metastasis in MEN1 patients

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PanNENs) are a major component the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 Syndrome (MEN1). Although multiple pancreatic neuroendocrine microtumors (microadenomatosis) are a histomorphological hallmark of MEN1, their molecular status compared to PanNET as well as their metastasis remains unclear.
