#2057 Morphological Factors Related to Nodal Metastases in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms of the Appendix. A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Introduction: Appendiceal NETs are usually diagnosed accidentally after appendectomy; the indications for right hemicolectomy are currently based on several parameters (tumor size, grading, Ki-67, localization, mesoappendiceal invasion, lympho-vascular infiltration). Available guidelines are based on scarce evidence inferred by small, retrospective, single institution studies.

#945 Interference of Nutrient/Oxygen Availability with mTOR Activation and Inhibition in Lung Carcinoids: A Tissue and Cellular Study

Introduction: MTOR is capable of coupling cellular nutrient sensing to metabolic homeostasis. However, little is known of the interactions between cancer‐specific metabolic pathways and profiles of responsiveness to mTOR inhibition in neuroendocrine tumors.
