#4649 Claudin 18.2 overexpression in gastric neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Claudin 18.2, is a tissue biomarker physiologically expressed in both healthy gastric mucosa and gastric adenocarcinoma which represents a novel therapeutic target advanced gastric cancer. Various other cancers showed some overexpression of claudin 18.2 opening potential opportunities to agnostic targeted therapy. However, data about claudin 18.2 expression in NENs are poor with only an Eastern study showing higher rate of claudin 18.2 positivity in GEP-NENs, mainly from gastric primary site (27.8%).

#4564 Vasculogenic mimicry in neuroendocrine tumour across different primary sites

Introduction: Anti-angiogenesis treatments targeting VEGFRs, including Surufatinib and Cabozantinib, etc. showed better efficacy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NET) than NET of other primary sites. Recent clinical trial targeting tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated protein-1, leading to inhibition of vasculogenic mimicry (VM) showed contrary results to current VEGFRs-targeted treatments. However, VM of NET across different primary sites are yet to be understood.

#4560 Genetic trajectory and clonal evolution of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours with lymph node and liver metastasis

Introduction: The systemic spread of panNETs is dominated by lymphatic reflux and portal system, exhibiting diverse patterns of metastasis without systematical genomic investigation.

#4524 SIRT7 drives the radioresistance of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours via the DNMT1-MEN1 axis

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are a rare and highly heterogeneous type of tumour in the pancreas. After failure of standard treatment, patients have poor prognoses. Radiotherapy may be a potential therapeutic modality for such patients. However, PanNETs usually exhibit a radiation “cold” tumour through unclarified mechanisms.

#4519 ANXA1-labelled cancer-associated fibroblasts induces tumour invasion and immunosuppressive microenvironment

Introduction: The growth pattern of a tumour is a marker for distinguishing inert from invasive tumours. In general, tumours such as the encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma show expansive growth. In contrast, invasive tumours, such as colorectal cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, show invasive growth with infiltration into surrounding structures and have a poorer prognosis. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) is the heterogeneous tumour originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells. PNEN with a high proportion of tumour mesenchyme, especially those presenting an infiltrating stroma, have a poor prognosis. In the infiltrating mesenchyme, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) play an important role. However, little research has been done on the mechanisms of how infiltrating CAF affects tumour malignancy and immune microenvironment.
