#4667 Clinical outcomes in patients with typical (TC) and atypical bronchial carcinoids (AC): A 15-year retrospective study from an ENETS Center of Excellence

Introduction: Bronchial neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) can be subdivided into TCs, ACs and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Although a few studies have explored treatment approaches and oncological outcomes, most focus on surgical cohorts, small sample sizes, or mixed groups including TC, AC, and NECs. Real-life cohort data are lacking.

#4658 The nutritional status worsens over 5 years in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours on treatment with somatostatin analogues

Introduction: Malnutrition is common in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) treated with monthly somatostatin analogues (SSAs). Ideally all malnourished patients are offered nutritional support. However, clinical guidelines and data on the development and progression of malnutrition is lacking.

#4656 Development of a 3D patient-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel model of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour and mesenteric fibrosis

Introduction: The pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) is poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments and biomarkers. A major barrier to research is the lack of disease models.

#4649 Claudin 18.2 overexpression in gastric neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Claudin 18.2, is a tissue biomarker physiologically expressed in both healthy gastric mucosa and gastric adenocarcinoma which represents a novel therapeutic target advanced gastric cancer. Various other cancers showed some overexpression of claudin 18.2 opening potential opportunities to agnostic targeted therapy. However, data about claudin 18.2 expression in NENs are poor with only an Eastern study showing higher rate of claudin 18.2 positivity in GEP-NENs, mainly from gastric primary site (27.8%).

#4647 Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour cells in a 3D spheroid model

Introduction: At diagnosis, over 50% of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) have metastasised to the mesentery where they often induce extensive fibrosis. Recent studies highlight the crucial interaction between SI-NET cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis (MF).
