#4652 Clinical response to somatostatin analogues in patients with DIPNECH: Findings from a new longitudinal registry

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) often presents with symptoms of cough and dyspnoea. DIPNECH remains understudied, and response to somatostatin analogues (SSAs) has been reported in a few small series.

#4592 Uncovering cell-state heterogeneity in large-cell panNEC indicates potentially targetable aberrant brain type neuronal de-differentiation

Introduction: Classification and treatment of high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (panNEC), particularly those with large-cell morphology, present significant clinical challenges due to considerable inter- and intra-patient tumour heterogeneity.

#4578 Dissecting the role of collagen quantitation via tissue-tethered digital analysis in small bowel neuroendocrine tumours and related mesenteric tumour deposits

Introduction: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (sb-NETs) and related mesenteric tumour deposits (MTDs) can present dense collagen and fibrosis. Despite well-known clinical consequences of this characteristic (bowel obstruction and ischemia), the relationship between SB-NETs and MTDs collagen deposition has been poorly evaluated.

#4557 miR-1290 and miR-320c regulate cell proliferation and predict patient prognosis in neuroendocrine carcinomas

Introduction: The biology of neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) remains largely unknown, limiting the use of biomarkers for patient stratification and therapy response prediction in clinical practice.

#4502 Molecular analysis of non-functioning PanNETs of the alpha lineage reveals new subtypes and mechanisms of progression

Introduction: Most pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are non-functioning. Previously, we demonstrated that small, MEN1-only mutated α-like PanNETs can be distinguished from larger ADM (mutated in ATRX, DAXX and MEN1) PanNETs based on epigenetic profiles. ADM PanNETs have shorter disease-free survival and a higher relapse risk. However, their therapeutic responses vary, underscoring group heterogeneity. ADM PanNETs remain insufficiently characterised, with potential subtype-specific progression drivers with implications for treatment choice and clinical outcome.
