#3031 Primitive Peripheral Neuroectodermal Tumor: Case Report

Introduction: Primitive neuroectodermal tumors belong to the family of Ewing sarcomatous tumors, all derived from the same stem cell. The cells of the neural crest are believed to be at the origin of these tumors. The predilection sites of these sarcomas are para-vertebral region, chest wall and the distal ends. The positive diagnosis of primary neuroectodermal tumors requires the contribution of histopathology, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics.

#3017 Patient and Healthcare Practitioner Perspectives of Somatostatin Analogs in the Management of Neuroendocrine Tumors and Acromegaly: A Systematic Literature Review

Introduction: Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are used to treat acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Two first-generation SSAs, octreotide and lanreotide, are available to patients (pts).

#2743 Mimics of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Identified in a Single Consultation Center between 2009 and 2019

Introduction: Immunohistochemical expression of synaptophysin (SYN), chromogranin (CgA) and cytokeratin are essential for diagnosis of NENs. Non-NENs, however, may occasionally also express NE-markers and cytokeratin and cause diagnostic difficulties.

#2297 Merkel Cell Carcinomas in New Zealand: Virus or Ultra Violet?

Introduction: Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is a rare Neuroendocrine skin tumour. MCC behavior is more aggressive than the more common Melanoma, with treatments often restricted to surgery or radiotherapy, although immunotherapy holds promise overseas. In 2008, a USA study identified an oncogenic polyomavirus (MCPyV) present in eight of ten tested MCC tumours. Studies from across Europe and the USA confirmed MCPyV presence in ~80% of all MCCs. However, a cohort from Australia found a rate of just 24%, suggesting an alternative mechanism; ultra violet (UV) exposure was suspected and later confirmed using genomic mutational signature analysis. Are these are two separate diseases, requiring different clinical management strategies for best patient outcomes?

#2291 Somatostatin Analogs and mTOR Inhibitors as Radioprotectors or Radiosensitizers in Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) express somatostatin receptors that are currently utilized for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. For peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), somatostatin analogs are coupled to radionuclides like 90Y or 177Lu, which after injection are bound and taken up specifically by NETs. One hypothesis potentially explaining the discrepancies between expected result and observed outcome of PRRT might be that somatostatin analogs induce a G1 arrest in NET cells, thereby rendering them radioresistant.
