#4650 Whole exome sequencing in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms: Findings from a pilot investigation

Introduction: The molecular landscape of lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is still poorly characterised. Lung NETs main prognostic factors currently include stage, histotype, grade, location, and demographic parameters, but molecular biomarkers are still not available, limiting the possibility for personalised therapeutic strategies.

#4622 Elucidating the role of high mobility group box 3 (Hmgb3) during progression and response to radiation therapy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: We have recently demonstrated that HMGB3 is upregulated during the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) transition via dedifferentiation from a relatively benign molecular subtype to an aggressive and highly metastatic molecular subtype. HMGB3 expression has recently been linked to resistance to therapy, metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients with various solid cancers.

#4598 I ain’t missing you at all – Vanishing extra-abdominal small intestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma metastasis

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (siNEN) are the most common small bowel malignancy. Almost 50% present with distant metastasis.

#4597 FIT-NETs: Assessing the effects of an exercise programme on the physical and emotional well-being of patients with advanced G1-2 NETs of GEP or unknown origin

Introduction: Physical activity programs in solid tumours have shown to improve symptom control and even survival, but their impact on NENs remains unexplored. Advanced disease, systemic therapy, and hormonal secretion in these tumours often lead to muscle wasting and sarcopenia.
