#4646 Dysregulated miRNA in patients with GEP-NEN and potential role as circulating biomarker

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a class of rare and molecularly extremely heterogeneous tumours. NENs arise predominantly in the gastrointestinal (GEP) and pulmonary tracts but can also involve thyroid and breast. NENs often present with non-specific symptoms and lack early specific biomarkers, leading to frequent metastatic diagnoses and primary site challenges.

#4637 Non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma in a young patient: A case report

Introduction: Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumours arising in the parasympathetic nervous system, outside the adrenal gland. Retroperitoneal location is extremely rare. Non-functional paragangliomas often represent a diagnostic challenge.

#4622 Elucidating the role of high mobility group box 3 (Hmgb3) during progression and response to radiation therapy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: We have recently demonstrated that HMGB3 is upregulated during the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) transition via dedifferentiation from a relatively benign molecular subtype to an aggressive and highly metastatic molecular subtype. HMGB3 expression has recently been linked to resistance to therapy, metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients with various solid cancers.

#4613 Correlation of serum cytokeratin 18, ferritin, cancer antigen 125, and beta-2 microglobulin with tumour grade and stage in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) remain challenging to diagnose, with limited reliable serum biomarkers available for early detection and prognostication.

#4583 Improved assessment of gene rearrangements by targeting non-coding DNA regions in patients diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Whole-genome sequencing projects documented the heterogeneity of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNEN), while showing that few core pathways are consistently affected in their tumorigenesis. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of real-world cases is expected to recapitulate such heterogeneity for patient stratification and to inform precision therapy. While coding DNA is the focus of current CGP panels, the potential of targeting non-coding DNA (ncDNA) to improve structural variants detection has not been widely explored in this context.
