#4594 RNA splicing as a key regulatory player with translational potential in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (lungNETs)

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a diverse group of neoplasms arising from neuroendocrine cells. Within this group, lung neuroendocrine tumours (LungNETs) represent one of the most frequent subtypes of NETs. LungNETs are classified by grade, according to their proliferative index and aggressiveness. Among them, typical carcinoids (G1) and atypical carcinoids (G2) are the lowest grade subtypes. While these tumours are less aggressive, they remain underexplored compared to higher-grade subtypes, highlighting the need for molecular studies to improve clinical approaches. In this context, previous studies have shown that abnormalities in the splicing machinery are frequent in tumour pathologies and also occur in LungNETs.

#4559 Exploring the interplay between RNA methylation and splicing dysregulation in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Post-transcriptional modifications play crucial roles in regulating gene expression and cellular function. While recent findings indicate that alternative splicing dysregulation plays a key role in tumorigenic properties of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), the role of other RNA processing mechanisms, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) — being the most common RNA methylation — remains largely unexplored in NETs.

#4393 Surufatinib plus trans arterial embolisation (TAE) vs. surufatinib monotherapy in neuroendocrine tumour with liver metastasis: Updated results from the prospective, randomised, controlled trial

Introduction: The liver is the main metastasis site for NETs. Surufatinib (SUR), an oral TKI, is standard therapy for advanced NETs. TAE is the primary local intervention for unresectable hepatic NETs.

#4206 Specific spliceosomic landscapes reveal a possible link between RNA processing and panNETs behaviour

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) are characterized by a low number of mutations. Despite genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics studies have helped to understand the molecular features of PanNETs, there is still a vast unexplored ground for better comprehension of this disease. In this context, we have previously documented that RNA splicing is dysregulated in these tumors, which unveils new avenues to discover potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. However, clinical and molecular implications of this dysregulation are still very poorly understood.
