#4139 Characterisation of new biomarkers from patients with neuroendocrine cancer using liquid biopsy methods

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors originate from neuroendocrine cells. Clinicians diagnose and track these tumors not only but also by analysing patients' blood for biomarkers. Including liquid biopsy in early detection and monitoring can improve patient outcomes.

#2162 Single Cell Copy Number Variation Analysis (CNV) of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Patients

Introduction: The identification and characterization of CTCs as part of a minimally invasive “liquid biopsy” provides an opportunity to explore NET biology, identify therapeutic targets and investigate tumour heterogeneity.

#2022 CXCR4 Expression on Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and Their Association with Bone Metastases in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET)

Introduction: Bone metastases have been described in up to 32% of NET patients and are associated with a worse clinical outcome. Overexpression of CXCR4 in primary tumors appears predictive of skeletal involvement.

#1364 Clinical Utility of EpCAM-positive Circulating Tumor Cells in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Using the CellSearch Platform

Introduction: Circulating tumor cells are captured to predict the prognosis of patients in many types of cancers, but reports are rare on clinical utility and tumor cell shedding in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).
