#4659 Current role of systemic lanreotide therapy of patients with advanced, unresectable, non-metastatic paraganglioma / pheochromocytoma (PPGL) sporadic and hereditary

Introduction: Retrospective, performed in prospective manner single-arm, open-label, case series study to assess the efficacy of lanreotide in patients with unresectable, non-metastatic paraganglioma / pheochromocytoma (PPGL) spontaneous or germline mutations.

#4124 Evaluating a possible association between promoter methylation level of genes encoding catecholamine metabolizing enzymes and metanephrine secretion in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

Introduction: Paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that may secrete catecholamines and their metabolites (metanephrines [MN], normetanephrine [NMN]). Secretion patterns differ by adrenal/extra-adrenal origin and genetic alteration. Catecholamines synthesis is carried by phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aromaticL-aminoacid decarboxylase (AADC), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT). However, their regulation in PPGL is not entirely understood.

#3769 Adrenal neuroendocrine tumors in Oran – Epidemiology and survival

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas (PCC) are rare neuroendocrine tumors with a prevalence of 1/10000 in the general population. They are sporadic in 80% of cases, family forms are found in 10 to 20% of cases. PCCs represent 60% of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. They occur at any age with a peak between 30 and 50 years old. The clinical symptomatology dominated by arterial hypertension is linked to the hypersecretion of catecholamines. Metastases are common in the liver, bone or lung. The 5-year survival of malignant pheochromocytomas is less than 50%.

#3257 Molecular and functional study of somatostatin receptors in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas

Introduction: Most pheochromocytomas (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL) are benign neuroendocrine tumors that overproduce catecholamines causing hypertension, arrhythmia, and stroke; however, 10 30% may present distant metastasis. About 40% are caused by germline mutations, which may be classified in 3 different clusters. PCC/PGL diagnosis involves blood/urine tests and imaging techniques, while their treatment often requires distinct pharmacological and surgical approaches. Thus, identification of new biomarkers for early diagnosis, and progression/response would help to avoid unnecessary tests and enable personalized medicine approaches.

#946 Immunohistochemical Staining of Catecholamine-Synthesizing Enzymes in Head and Neck Paraganglioma Tissue

Introduction: Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are non-producing neuroendocrine tumors, alhough 19-28% of patients have an increased dopamine production. The high sensitivity of 18F-DOPA PET also shows that these tumors might be able to synthesize catecholamines.
