#2215 Development of Multiplex Biomarker Assay to Subtype Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) with Distinct Prognosis and Mutations

Introduction: Overall 5-year survival for PanNETs ranges from 25-100%. The treatment paradigm for PanNETs largely based upon grades, which is significantly heterogeneous. We previously defined three molecular subtypes (distributed grades) of PanNETs using PanNETassigner signature. There is an unmet clinical need for prognostic and predictive biomarkers and clinically-relevant assays to complement grade and improve patient stratification.

#1939 Antiproliferative Effects of Lanreotide in Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors of the lung (BP-NETs, typical (AC) and atypical Carcinoids (ATC)) are rare tumors with heterogeneous behavior and molecular characteristics. For the intermediate proliferating BP-NETs treatment options are limited and unsatisfactory. Somatostatin analogues have not only anti-secretory effects, but also display antiproliferative features, as shown by PROMID and CLARINET trial. Nevertheless, their value in BP-NET is undefined so far.

#1404 The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Is a Highly Effective Treatment Option for Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms and Sensitizes to DNA Damaging Therapy In Vitro

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are fairly rare tumors with very heterogeneous behavior and molecular characteristics. Their generally slow proliferation render them virtually resistant to many DNA damaging therapeutic approaches. Bortezomib has been shown to be effective in GEP-NENs in vitro but has been withdrawn from clinical assessment due to a small phase II study on bortezomib monotherapy in 2004.
