#2821 Nucleophosmin Expression and Relocation in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Preliminary Data

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with unpredictable clinical course and biological behavior. Nucleophosmin (NPM) is an important multifunctional protein mainly located in the nucleolus. NPM has been reported to be overexpressed in many types of human cancer, activating tumor development and progression. However, the role of NPM in PanNETs is unknown.

#2804 Claudin-18 Is a Sensitive and a Specific Marker for Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Antibody-based cancer therapies are emerging as promising therapeutics in oncology, including one in clinical trials that targets claudin-18, a protein expressed in normal gastric epithelium and some gastric adenocarcinoma. We currently have no markers for gastric well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

#2265 Activity of Bevacizumab in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Introduction: The combination of the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab (BEV) with a multitude of other antineoplastic substances has shown promising activity in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). However, data proving the superiority of BEV-containing vs. BEV-free protocols are lacking.
