#3000 Patients with Somatostatin Receptor Type 2-Negative Neuroendocrine Tumors Have Sustained Inferior Survival Rates in a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

Introduction: Sufficient expression of somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is crucial for treatment with unlabelled somatostatin analogues (SSAs), or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using radio-labelled SSAs. Impaired prognosis has been described for SST2-negative NET patients, however studies comparing matched SST2-positive and -negative subjects are missing.

#2905 DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor Hydralazine Induces Upregulation of Somatostatin Type 2 Receptors in Human Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: Epidrugs like DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) can increase somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) expression in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells in vitro and in vivo. This effect could be used for NET patients with low SST2 expression who are currently ineligible for somatostatin analogue (SSA) treatment. However, the DNMTi known to stimulate SST2 have either a high toxicity profile or are not yet approved.
