#3077 Insights into the Practice Patterns, Challenges and the Role of a Shared Care Model in the Management of Neuroendocrine (NET) Patients in the Community

Introduction: Management of NET patients often involves a multidisciplinary approach,requiring collaboration between referring oncologists,surgeons,endocrinologists locally and NET specialty centers (NSC).

#3074 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and DIPNECH: An Unexpected Association

Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumour of the C-cells of thyroid gland. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cells hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare condition, thought to be primarily a neuroendocrine proliferative process which can develop into carcinoid tumours.

#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.

#3072 Rb and p53 Status Determination by Immunochemistry Is Complementary in Routine Practice to Genetic Testing of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Introduction: Rb and p53 status may help distinguishing well from poorly differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) and may predict response to chemotherapy. Studies correlating Rb/p53 genetic and immunohistochemistry were performed on high-quality frozen samples with high throughput techniques efficient for copy number determination. This situation differs from routine practice in which small deletions may be hard to detect on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples with a gene panel approach.

#3070 Activity and Safety of Avelumab in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: Our Experience

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. The use of checkpoint inhibitors has shown good results in the treatment of advanced MCC. Avelumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor able to prevent the inactivation of the T lymphocytes. We report a serie of consecutive MCC cases treated with Avelumab in two centres
