#4623 [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-Exendin-4 PET/CT for the localisation of insulinoma: Results of an international, dual-centre, retrospective, open-label real-world imaging study

Introduction: Benign insulinomas are the main cause of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (EHH) in adults, with surgery as the only cure. Pancreas-preserving procedures are preferred, making precise localisation crucial. Recent studies indicate that GLP-1R imaging, such as [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-exendin-4 (68Ga-Ex4) PET/CT, outperforms conventional imaging in identifying insulinomas.

#4588 Spatial transcriptomics identifies Wnt signalling in multifocal ileal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Ileal neuroendocrine tumours (i-NETs) often present with multiple primary tumours (>30-40%). Recent studies showed no shared somatic mutations in multiple primary tumours, highlighting the need to examine the tumour microenvironment in tumorigenesis. The Wnt signalling pathway is crucial for organ stem cell regulation. While the Wnt/β-catenin pathway influences prostate and pancreatic NET/Cs, its role in i-NETs remains unclear.

#4580 Improving diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumours using large language models

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers that can be difficult to diagnose due to their variable clinical presentation and non-specific symptoms. Accurate diagnosis often requires integrating a wide range of clinical, radiological, and pathological information. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in processing and understanding complex medical text, making them a valuable tool for improving diagnostic accuracy in oncology.

#4563 Clinical case of a young woman with acromegaly, hyperprolactinemia and pituitary tumour with mixed morphology of adenoma and gangliocytoma

Introduction: Acromegaly is a rare disorder that develops due to persistent hypersecretion of somatotropic hormone in adults after closure of the growth plates. In the majority of cases, the cause is a pituitary adenoma.

#4561 Prognostic value of pre-therapeutic and interim SSTR PET in patients with GI-NET receiving peptide receptor radionuclide therapy

Introduction: Baseline and interim (after 2 cycles) somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-directed PET/CTs are essential in patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours (GI-NET) undergoing peptide radioreceptor therapy (PRRT).
