#4620 Impact of the extent of surgical resection on the development of post-operative diabetes in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NF-PanNET)

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are often indolent neoplasms. Surgery is the primary curative approach for localised non-functioning (NF) PanNETs, but it poses a risk of long-term complications, such as diabetes, impacting quality of life.

#4596 Gender and metastatic burden as preoperative predictors of disease progression in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours with liver metastases

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour liver metastases (PanNET LM) are traditionally classified into three types based on their distribution. Surgery is generally considered for patients with type I/II LM, while those with type III LM are typically regarded as unresectable. However, type III PanNET LM encompass a wide range of clinical scenarios, some of which may allow surgical resection in selected cases.

#4534 Development of new 3D in vitro models for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs)

Introduction: Current PanNET in vitro models struggle to accurately replicate the tumour’s biology and microenvironment, limiting understanding of the mechanisms underlying PanNET behaviour and drugs response.

#4476 Pancreatic stellate cells promote tumorigenesis and progression of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours through SERPINE2 and KCNA5

Introduction: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) are stromal cells in the pancreas that play a significant role in pancreatic pathology. Nevertheless, few studies have explored the significance of PSC in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (panNET). Their contribution to the fibrotic responses in panNET remains poorly understood. How PSC promote tumorigenesis and differentiation in panNET after being activated to myofibroblasts or cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) has not been studied.

#4255 Prognostic significance of nodal micrometastases in patients with non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs) – A survival analysis from a prospective observational study

Introduction: Nodal metastases (N+) are one of the most powerful predictors of disease recurrence after surgery for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). However, the prognostic role of nodal metastases
