#4641 Case series: Tuberous sclerosis associated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours at a tertiary centre

Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominant condition which can increase the risk of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) (1). Patients with TSC undergo screening for renal tumours which may include pancreatic imaging (2). There are currently no screening guidelines for PanNETs in patients with TSC.

#4617 Analysis of new immunohistochemical biomarkers in a cohort of pancreatic NETs

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are rare diseases with a 10-year survival rate of only 40-50%. The ATRX, DAXX and ARX, PDX1 expressions in PanNETs were considered poor prognostic factors in some studies, but inconsistent in others.

#4578 Dissecting the role of collagen quantitation via tissue-tethered digital analysis in small bowel neuroendocrine tumours and related mesenteric tumour deposits

Introduction: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (sb-NETs) and related mesenteric tumour deposits (MTDs) can present dense collagen and fibrosis. Despite well-known clinical consequences of this characteristic (bowel obstruction and ischemia), the relationship between SB-NETs and MTDs collagen deposition has been poorly evaluated.

#4573 Digestive neuroendocrine tumours: Patterns, pathways, and progress in personalised management

Introduction: Digestive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), though rare, are increasingly diagnosed with their incidence rising. Histopathological examination is crucial for diagnosis and grading, based on cell differentiation and proliferation index. Often diagnosed late due to non-specific symptoms, these tumours may present with hormone hypersecretion. Updated classifications now allow better risk stratification and tailored treatments. Advances in imaging, particularly PETscans with somatostatin analogues have improved NET diagnosis and monitoring.

#4539 Single-nucleus profiling of the tumour microenvironment in SI-NET patients

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are frequently present as multiple synchronous primary tumours in the small bowel. They are thought to arise from enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut, which account for less than 1% of the intestinal epithelium. Previously reported lack of shared somatic driver alterations in SI-NETs suggests that other, non-genetic mechanisms are likely involved in their tumorigenesis.
