#4396 Hypoxic microenvironment in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The hypoxic microenvironment is a hallmark of many solid tumours, including neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Hypoxia plays a crucial role in tumour progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. However, the specific mechanisms by which hypoxia influences NET behaviour remain poorly understood.

#4395 Mechanisms of drug resistance in neuroendocrine tumours: A basic research study

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) often show resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapies, leading to treatment failure. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly understood.

#4319 Everolimus combined with orlistat inhibits the development of neuroendocrine tumours by inhibiting the mTOR-PI3K-Akt signalling pathway

Introduction: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in NET treatment. Orlistat, used primarily for obesity management, inhibits fat absorption. This study investigates the potential synergistic effects of Everolimus combined with Orlistat on the development of NETs.

#3989 Hypoxia upregulating ACSS2 enhances lipid metabolism reprogramming through HMGCS1 mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to promote the progression of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are relatively rare. Hypoxia and lipid metabolism-related gene acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is involved in tumor progression, but its role in pNENs is not revealed.

#3885 Adaptive immunosuppressive resistance mechanisms towards antiangiogenic immunotherapies revealed in a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) model

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are mostly indolent but can achieve malignancy. Surgery is the only approved first-line therapy. Kinase inhibitors and radiotherapy for unresectable PNETs are non-curative and targeted therapies are currently lacking for PNETs. However, immune checkpoint inhibitors have created a paradigm shift in cancer therapy with significant increase in overall survival, but are curative only in a subset of patients, partly due to limited T cell infiltration, especially in angiogenic and cold tumors like PNETs. Parallelly, antiangiogenic therapy increases lymphocyte infiltration by normalising the tumor vasculature. Tallying antiangiogenic to immunotherapies (AI) has provided improved survival benefits for patients of advanced RCCs and HCCs, while other cancers like glioblastoma remain highly resistant.
