#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.

#4288 A virtual patient handbook

Introduction: Neuroendocrine cancer has lower public recognition than more common cancer types and when this is combined with geographical inequalities in neuroendocrine cancer care across the UK, patients can often find themselves reliant on online resources to educate themselves about the disease.

#3512 Genetic, epigenetic and/or transcriptional profiling of 14q genes, MAX and MEG3 in pituitary neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Recent studies have identified a growing series of susceptibility genes for pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) and pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PPGL). Some of these genes (e.g., SDH genes) have be specifically associated with the development of these pathologies.
