#437 mTOR Expression in Primary Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors and their Metastases

Introduction: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), an important regulator of cell proliferation and invasion, is activated in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). Information on detailed expression of mTOR in locally advanced or metastatic PNET is poorly described.

#248 Difficulties in Differential Diagnostics of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Primary neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of soft tissues and soft tissue metastases are seen rarely and need differentiation from other types of tumors (as chemodecroma or paraganglioma).
