#4588 Spatial transcriptomics identifies Wnt signalling in multifocal ileal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Ileal neuroendocrine tumours (i-NETs) often present with multiple primary tumours (>30-40%). Recent studies showed no shared somatic mutations in multiple primary tumours, highlighting the need to examine the tumour microenvironment in tumorigenesis. The Wnt signalling pathway is crucial for organ stem cell regulation. While the Wnt/β-catenin pathway influences prostate and pancreatic NET/Cs, its role in i-NETs remains unclear.

#4492 Utility of NETest 2.0 as a biomarker for neuroendocrine tumours: The Swiss experience – Real-world data

Introduction: The NETest 2.0 is a PCR assay of circulating mRNA, scored 0-100. It has been developed as a biomarker to diagnose neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) and to provide tumour prognostic information.

#4409 The value of NETest 2.0 in stratifying patients with suspected NEN for formal diagnostic evaluation – Real-world data

Introduction: An unmet need in NEN diagnosis is better risk stratification for individuals with suspected disease (based on symptoms or imaging), enabling efficient identification of those needing further evaluation and tissue diagnosis, thus speeding the process and reducing costs. NETest 2.0, a biomarker based on a 51-gene mRNA panel, was developed for diagnosing neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN).

#3885 Adaptive immunosuppressive resistance mechanisms towards antiangiogenic immunotherapies revealed in a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) model

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are mostly indolent but can achieve malignancy. Surgery is the only approved first-line therapy. Kinase inhibitors and radiotherapy for unresectable PNETs are non-curative and targeted therapies are currently lacking for PNETs. However, immune checkpoint inhibitors have created a paradigm shift in cancer therapy with significant increase in overall survival, but are curative only in a subset of patients, partly due to limited T cell infiltration, especially in angiogenic and cold tumors like PNETs. Parallelly, antiangiogenic therapy increases lymphocyte infiltration by normalising the tumor vasculature. Tallying antiangiogenic to immunotherapies (AI) has provided improved survival benefits for patients of advanced RCCs and HCCs, while other cancers like glioblastoma remain highly resistant.

#3643 Effect of resection timing as part of multidisciplinary treatment for pancreatic NEN liver metastases
