#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.

#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).

#4557 miR-1290 and miR-320c regulate cell proliferation and predict patient prognosis in neuroendocrine carcinomas

Introduction: The biology of neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) remains largely unknown, limiting the use of biomarkers for patient stratification and therapy response prediction in clinical practice.

#4492 Utility of NETest 2.0 as a biomarker for neuroendocrine tumours: The Swiss experience – Real-world data

Introduction: The NETest 2.0 is a PCR assay of circulating mRNA, scored 0-100. It has been developed as a biomarker to diagnose neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) and to provide tumour prognostic information.

#4410 NETest can predict the tumour burden in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare malignancies characterised by slow growth and a lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting tumour burden, treatment response, and prognosis.
