#4645 Radio-guided surgery in use for treatment of early relapse in small intestine neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Surgery is the only definitive therapy for neuroendocrine tumours (NET). In number of small intestine NET first symptom is ileus or perforation, lifesaving surgical procedures applied. Such cases have significant risk of recurrence.

#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.

#4607 BH3-mimetic drugs elicit cell death of neuroendocrine tumours in preclinical models – An emerging therapeutic strategy for NETs

Introduction: There is an unmet clinical need to identify new, effective therapies for patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Analysis of single-cell expression data revealed that NETs express high levels of the Bcl2 family of antiapoptotic proteins. Therefore, we hypothesised that proapoptotic drugs, such as BH3-mimetics, can induce programmed cell death, i.e., apoptosis, of neuroendocrine cancer cells.

#4550 The relationship between MEN1 germline mutations and SSTR2 expression in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare hereditary disease characterised by the development of multiglandular parathyroid disease, pituitary tumours, and duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene MEN1 are the underlying cause. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is commonly expressed by NETs. However, the expression of SSTR2 in patients with MEN1 remains unclear.

#4544 Spatial and temporal intratumour heterogeneity of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNET)

Introduction: Data derived from the study of intertumour heterogeneity have led to propose that PanNET evolution may start either from beta cells with good prognosis, or from alpha cells with sequential alterations of MDA (MENIN-DAXX/ATRX) leading to more aggressive lesions.
