#3073 The Role of Rb as a Prognostic Factor in Grade 3 Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (G3NEC) Treated by First Line Platinum-Etoposide Combination, a Retrospective Study

Introduction: G3NEC are heterogeneous and aggressive diseases which can arise in different organs. Platinum-etoposide combination is used as first line treatment whatever the primary. Rb has been suggested to be a predictive/prognostic factor.

#3062 The Splicing Factor CELF4 Is Dysregulated in Neuroendocrine Tumors, Where It Can Enhance Aggressiveness Features

Introduction: There is increasing evidence that alterations in alternative splicing are linked to key tumor features in different cancers. Besides mutations, dysregulation of the splicing machinery would represent the main underlying cause for these alterations. Indeed, splicing dysregulation is emerging as a novel, transversal cancer hallmark, due to its association with multiple dysfunctions in tumor cells.

#3057 Epidemiological Features of Patients with NeuroEndocrine Neoplasms (NENs): Preliminary Results of an Observational Study by the Hellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO)

Introduction: NENs are rare tumors and can grow in almost all tissues. Regardless histological, molecular and imaging characteristics that are indicative of the primary origin, a significant percentage remain of unknown primary.

#3048 Somatostatin Analogs or Active Surveillance in Sporadic Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Non-functioning (NF), sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) have usually an indolent behavior, but sometimes show an unpredictable aggressiveness. Surgery is the first-choice for localized tumors >2 cm. Unresectable or metastatic lesions expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are treated with Somatostatin analogs (SSAs). No evidence of SSAs efficacy exists in tumors ≤2 cm, for which active surveillance has been proposed.

#3045 Reliability and Agreement of Radiological and Pathological Tumor Size in Patients with MEN1-Related Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Results from a Population-Based Cohort

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are the most lethal manifestation in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Tumor size is still regarded as the main prognostic factor and therefore used for surgical decision making.
