#4583 Improved assessment of gene rearrangements by targeting non-coding DNA regions in patients diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Whole-genome sequencing projects documented the heterogeneity of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNEN), while showing that few core pathways are consistently affected in their tumorigenesis. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of real-world cases is expected to recapitulate such heterogeneity for patient stratification and to inform precision therapy. While coding DNA is the focus of current CGP panels, the potential of targeting non-coding DNA (ncDNA) to improve structural variants detection has not been widely explored in this context.

#4441 Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms in younger patients: A retrospective single-centre study

Introduction: Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (gNENs) are rare neoplasms arising from stomach enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. Type I gNENs are the most common type, typically indolent and arising in the context of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). While type I gNENs are generally diagnosed in pts over 50, their occurrence in younger pts raises concern about the onset of CAG-related complications at an earlier age, potentially affecting tumour growth and clinical outcomes. Young-oriented studies on type I gNETs are still lacking in literature.

#4353 Familial inactivating glucagon receptor mutation resulting in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours with metastatic potential, somatic MEN1 mutations, and a heterozygous phenotype

Introduction: Homozygous pathogenic glucagon receptor (GCGR) mutations cause a syndrome with pancreatic glucagon cell hyperplasia and neoplasia (GCHN) associated with Mahvash disease. This is an exceptionally rare autosomal recessive hereditary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (panNET) syndrome, with approximately ten cases documented in the literature.

#4325 Resection strategies for pulmonary typical carcinoids: Do surgical extents impact survival?

Introduction: While surgical resection of pulmonary typical carcinoid (TC) is primary curative treatment, optimal extent of resection remains debated, with limited data on survival outcomes and prognostic factors guiding management.
