#2936 Mutational Landscape of 109 High-Grade Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms G3

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) G3 are rare with a poor outcome. Molecular data for GEP NEN G3 is limited and the 2019 WHO classification is based on morphology and proliferation rate.

#2834 Tumor-Promoting Effects of the Transcriptional Regulator CUX1 in PanNET

Introduction: Previously, we identified CUX1 as mediator of metastatic behaviour and poor differentiation in human insulinomas. CUX1 mediated tumor-promoting functions via enhancing proliferation, resistance to apoptosis and angiogenesis in-vitro and in-vivo.

#1850 Influence of VEGF Splicing on Microvessel Density and Architecture in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction: Hypoxia in human tumours is associated with a poor prognosis and is characterized by the stabilization of HIF1α, upregulation of VEGF, and a high microvessel density (MVD). Interestingly, although pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETS) showing hypoxia signalling also have a poor prognosis, they paradoxically display a low MVD. We hypothesized that this paradoxon might be explained by alternative splicing of VEGF.

#1780 PD-L1 Is Expressed in a Subset of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNET)

Introduction: Programmed death 1 (PD-1) is an immune inhibitory receptor expressed on several immune cells, interacting with two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. The former is expressed in many human cancers and is used as a selection criterion for indication of checkpoint inhibitor therapies. PD-L1 is also a potential target for checkpoint inhibitors in pNET therapy, however no data on prevalence of PD-L1 expression and potential associations to clinico-pathologic features is available.

#1186 Significance of ATRX/DAXX Expression and Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres in Insulinomas and Neuroendocrine Tumors of Small Intestine.

Introduction: ATRX and DAXX mutations associated with alternative lengthening of telomeres ( ALT) phenotype have been shown as one of the major altered pathways in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET).
