#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.

#4618 The exceptionally rare phenomenon of well-differentiated colon neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Colonic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared to other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated NECs, leading to unclear data on prevalence, clinical behaviour, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs.

#4612 Intraoperative beta-probe for pathological tissue detection in GEP-NET patients: A prospective phase II trial

Introduction: Accurate localisation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) is essential for successful radical surgery. Radio guided surgery (RGS) is an innovative technique that may enhance lesion detection.

#4610 The last 10 years – Single centre experience of gastrointestinal NEN

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare and heterogeneous, comprising 2% of all malignancies, with progressively increasing incidence. Most arise sporadically and the most frequent primary sites are gastrointestinal and lung.

#4602 The role of microbiome diversity in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) development and progression: Insights from a cohort study

Introduction: The gut microbiome may influence neuroendocrine tumour (NET) development, particularly gastrointestinal NETs, yet data on this connection within Pakistan are limited. This study explores microbiome diversity’s role in NET progression.
