#3320 TGF-β increase caspase activation and migration in typical bronchial carcinoids

Introduction: Typical bronchial carcinoids (TBC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) whose management can still be very challenging due to reduced sensitivity to therapy. Previous studies have reported TGF-β’s ability to activate mTOR pathway and induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, preliminary results show an overexpression of TGF-β signalling and caspase activation in TBC.

#3015 Biopsy Specimen Diagnosis in Pulmonary Carcinoids, A Shot in the Dark

Introduction: Pulmonary carcinoids (PCs) are rare well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, which can be separated into typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical carcinoid (AC). Advised treatment for local carcinoid disease is surgical resection using lobectomy, while parenchymal saving strategies such as sub-lobar or endobronchial resection might be considered for TC. In general, pre-operative diagnosis using a (transbronchial/transthoracic) biopsy sample is performed to demonstrate malignancy. However, TC and AC classification can solely be performed on surgical resection specimens, which may challenge pre-operative treatment decisions.

#3006 Teratoma with Malignant Transformation: A Case Report of a Neuroendocrine Tumor That Arises from the Bronchial Mucosa in a Mature Cystic Teratoma

Introduction: Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common type of germ cell tumor in the ovary. A malignant tumor that arises in a pre-existing mature teratoma is called teratoma with malignant transformation (TMT).

#2983 Differential TGF-β Signalling in Typical and Atypical Bronchial Carcinoids

Introduction: Typical and atypical bronchial carcinoids (TBC and ABC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Metastatic BC having low to moderate mitotic count may still be treated with somatostatin analogues and mTOR inhibitors; however, TBC and ABC have been reported to respond very differently to therapy and an effective treatment algorithm is still lacking. TGF-β is known for its ability to activate mTOR pathway and induce epithelial mesenchymal transition, affecting cell pathophysiological capabilities such as proliferation, migration and tissue invasiveness.

#2962 90Y- and/or 177Lu-DOTATOC Re-Challenge in Patients with Progressive Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Most patients treated with PRRT will eventually progress. Previous studies indicated that repeated PRRT is feasible and promising.
