#4463 Evaluating multi-visceral resection for locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs): Feasibility, safety and complications

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) are rare but clinically significant neoplasms. Surgery can play a significant role in the multimodal treatment of PNETs. Multi-visceral resection involving organs in the left upper quadrant (LUQ) can be used with curative or cytoreductive intent in selected cases.

#4011 Differences in the microRNA expression of G1 and G2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Targeted testing of microRNAs implicated in the biology of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) was performed via RT-QPCR to uncover differentially expressed microRNAs that could be used as diagnostic markers characteristic for tumor grade.

#3780 Evaluation of tumor tissue miRNAs for assessing the grade of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from FFPE samples

Introduction: Our research aims were to determine whether the human tissue microRNAs miR-21, miR-96, miR-130b and miR-210 are of use in the differential diagnosis of grade 1 and grade 2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET).

#1415 Detection of SSTR2 and 5 Expression on Circulating Tumour Cells in Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTR) which can be targeted for therapy with somatostatin analogues (SSA) or radionuclide treatment.
