#4656 Development of a 3D patient-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel model of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour and mesenteric fibrosis

Introduction: The pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) is poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments and biomarkers. A major barrier to research is the lack of disease models.

#4183 Establishment of novel patient-derived preclinical models for neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arise in different organs and are heterogeneous with limited treatment options. Preclinical models established from patient tumor specimens enable precision oncology by assessing the response to various drug treatments.

#4041 Mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs): Pathogenesis and therapeutic targets

Introduction: Mesenteric fibrosis (MF) affects up to 50% of small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) patients, causing significant morbidity and mortality. MF pathophysiology is poorly understood, limiting treatment development and biomarker identification.
