#4599 Endosonography guided coloenterostomy for management of malignant small bowel ileus

Introduction: Small-bowel ileus (SBI) is often decisive for the prognosis in midgut neuroendocrine tumours (NET) and other peritoneally metastasised neoplasias. Conventional procedures of palliative care deliver unsatisfying results.

#4519 ANXA1-labelled cancer-associated fibroblasts induces tumour invasion and immunosuppressive microenvironment

Introduction: The growth pattern of a tumour is a marker for distinguishing inert from invasive tumours. In general, tumours such as the encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma show expansive growth. In contrast, invasive tumours, such as colorectal cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, show invasive growth with infiltration into surrounding structures and have a poorer prognosis. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) is the heterogeneous tumour originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells. PNEN with a high proportion of tumour mesenchyme, especially those presenting an infiltrating stroma, have a poor prognosis. In the infiltrating mesenchyme, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) play an important role. However, little research has been done on the mechanisms of how infiltrating CAF affects tumour malignancy and immune microenvironment.

#4414 Impact of chromogranin A expression on clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in patients with gastrointestinal tumours exhibiting neuroendocrine differentiation

Introduction: Pathological diagnosis of neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) relies on histomorphological assessment and specific markers, including chromogranin A (CgA) and synaptophysin (Syn). Previous studies indicate that tumours with a high proportion of CgA (+) exhibit increased malignancy and aggressiveness in neuroendocrine tumours, suggesting that CgA may serve as a prognostic marker.

#4150 Uncovering the role of netrins and DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNEN) tumorigenesis

Introduction: DCC functions as a tumor suppressor and is altered in various tumors, including neuroendocrine neoplasms. Netrin (NTN)-1 serves as the primary ligand for DCC. Operating as a dependence receptor, DCC induces apoptosis without NTN and promotes cell survival in its presence. In some cancers like small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma, upregulation of NTN-3 rather than NTN-1 has been observed. However, the precise involvement of NTNs and DCC in PNEN remains unclear.

#4108 Clinical and epidemiological profile of neuroendocrine differentiation – A hospital-based retrospective study

Introduction: Global research on neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) in carcinomas remains limited, despite its distinct clinical features, disease progression, pathology, treatment outcomes, and poor prognosis. At the 2023 ENETS Conference, we presented our findings on NED in gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. However, more studies are essential to better comprehend NED's clinical and epidemiological aspects.
