#3479 Mesenteric fibrosis in SI-NEN is characterized by strong dysregulation of CXCL9, IL6, COMP and COL6A6 genes

Introduction: Small intestine neuroendocrine neoplasms (SI-NENs) are characterized by the development of desmoplastic mesenteric fibrosis (MF) in up to 50 % of cases. This can cause intestinal obstruction and ischemia, which is a significant clinical problem.

#911 Immunohistochemical Expression of Connective Tissue Growth Factor and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 in Lung Carcinoids

Introduction: Several studies have shown altered expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor (IGF-1R) in different types of cancers. Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) is triggered by Serotonin (5-HT) and Hypoxia Induced Factor 1 (HIF-1) and has been associated with tumor expansion and desmoplastic reaction in carcinoid tumors.
