#4534 Development of new 3D in vitro models for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs)

Introduction: Current PanNET in vitro models struggle to accurately replicate the tumour’s biology and microenvironment, limiting understanding of the mechanisms underlying PanNET behaviour and drugs response.

#3513 Comprehensive molecular analysis of prognostic groups in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs) identifies key genes and potential regulatory mechanisms

Introduction: MiRNAs are key regulators of multiple molecular processes, including tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, very few studies have assessed their role in NENs. In a previous study, we identified a miRNA signature that defined 3 prognostic groups in 86 patients with lung and gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NENs. Here, we explore up- and downstream mechanisms underlying this miRNA signature.

#3275 MicroRNA prognostic signature in neuroendocrine neoplasias (NENs) of lung and GEP origin: In silico analysis of target genes and pathways

Introduction: Molecular knowledge of NENs has increased in the last years. Nevertheless, the lack of in vivo models makes it difficult to guide functional experiments to better understand the biological implications of described molecular alterations. In this context, and as miRNAs contribute to regulate gene expression, we performed an in silico analysis to explore target genes and involved pathways regulated by an 8-miRNA prognostic signature that we recently developed in NENs, that stratified patients in 3 prognostic groups (Espinosa-Olarte P et al, ESMO 2020).

#3250 High TMB and MSI-high as independent predictors of survival in NENs

Introduction: To date, there are no validated molecular biomarkers for personalized therapy in NENs. Tumor genome sequencing may help unravel NEN molecular landscape and identify novel targets for an individualized approach.

#3032 Lung Side and Site: The Importance of Location and the Prognostic Implication in Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Lung neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are classified as typical (TC) and atypical carcinoids (AT), according to their mitotic count and the presence of necrosis. However, a role for tumor side (right vs left) and location (central vs peripheric) has not been established so far.
