#4642 Establishing a standardised histopathological grading system for mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Mesenteric fibrosis (MF) frequently develops around mesenteric metastasis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour (SI-NET) patients. Since MF is not always detected radiologically, histopathological examination is considered the gold standard. However, there is no uniform histopathological scoring system for MF correlated with clinical data.

#4625 Efficacy and safety of capecitabine-temozolomide (CAPTEM) regimen in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms – A systematic review and experience from NETwerk, a Belgian ENETS Center of Excellence

Introduction: Current treatment guidelines remain inconclusive due to scarcity of data regarding the optimal systemic treatment for metastatic gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NET) grade 3 and aggressive GEP-NET grade 2. Similarly, for metastatic pulmonary typical (TC) and atypical carcinoids (AC), the indication for chemotherapy is unclear. Recent evidence highlights a promising role for CAPTEM, combining temozolomide (TEM) with capecitabine (CAP), showing encouraging antitumoural activity and safety profiles for these indications.

#4609 External validation of Rachel score: A prognostic tool for lung neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Lung NETs are a heterogeneous group of tumours with variegated clinical presentation and course. The histological subtype (TC vs AC) and TNM stage are established prognostic factors. In a previous work by our group, we developed a prognostic model named Rachel score, with a satisfactory ability to predict OS and PFS in this population.

#4587 Exploring the splicing landscape to identify survival-related biomarkers in small intestine neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: The study of small intestine neuroendocrine neoplasms (siNENs) is challenging due to their rarity and complexity. While transcriptomic subtypes have been identified, the mechanisms behind their progression are still unclear. The process of RNA splicing is often altered in cancer, and our group has described that such dysregulation is also present in various NENs.

#4576 Economic evidence for pancreatic and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours following treatment failure or disease progression: A systematic literature review

Introduction: Treatment failure and disease progression (PD) in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a rare group of malignancies, are common due to limited targeted treatments.
