#2234 High Rate of Copy-Number Alterations in Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors with Unidentified Driver Mutations

Introduction: The driving genetic alteration leading to neuroendocrine tumor (NET) development has been reported for primary tumors of pancreatic origin, but not for metastases. Moreover, even for primary tumor a significant “dark matter” remains to be explored.

#2196 The Neuroendocrine Phenotype, Genomic Profile, and Therapeutic Sensitivity of GEPNET Cell Lines

Introduction: Patient tumour-derived cell lines have been widely used for studying the molecular mechanisms of tumours and their response to therapy. The establishment of cell lines from gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEPNETs) has proved difficult, but despite the challenges a limited amount of cell lines now exists.
