#4602 The role of microbiome diversity in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) development and progression: Insights from a cohort study

Introduction: The gut microbiome may influence neuroendocrine tumour (NET) development, particularly gastrointestinal NETs, yet data on this connection within Pakistan are limited. This study explores microbiome diversity’s role in NET progression.

#4592 Uncovering cell-state heterogeneity in large-cell panNEC indicates potentially targetable aberrant brain type neuronal de-differentiation

Introduction: Classification and treatment of high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (panNEC), particularly those with large-cell morphology, present significant clinical challenges due to considerable inter- and intra-patient tumour heterogeneity.

#4543 Single-cell transcriptomic landscape indicates the potential role of immunotherapy in metastatic pancreatic angiosarcoma

Introduction: Pancreatic angiosarcoma is a rare and highly aggressive tumour originated from lymphatic or vascular endothelial cells, with poor prognosis and few effective treatments. However, little is known about its tumour microenvironment and the mechanisms of its progression.

#4539 Single-nucleus profiling of the tumour microenvironment in SI-NET patients

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are frequently present as multiple synchronous primary tumours in the small bowel. They are thought to arise from enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut, which account for less than 1% of the intestinal epithelium. Previously reported lack of shared somatic driver alterations in SI-NETs suggests that other, non-genetic mechanisms are likely involved in their tumorigenesis.

#4381 TOPK promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms by enhancing the MAPK signalling pathway

Introduction: T-LAK cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK) is highly expressed in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) with liver metastasis and is associated with a poor prognosis.
