#4629 Identification of putative master regulators in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours using gene expression data and network inference

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) are a heterogenous group of pancreatic malignancies with a unique biology and pathophysiology. Tumour grade and extension are commonly used for prognostic determination. Current pathologic grading system needs regular updates to refine prognostic classification. Genomic screening may provide more objective classes and reflect tumour biology.

#4591 Efficacy of Trabectedin and Olaparib in homologous repair deficient neuroendocrine neoplasms – A subgroup analysis of the TOP-ART / PMO-1603 trial

Introduction: Genomic alterations resulting in homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) occur in a variety of cancers including neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). HRD-positive tumours are sensitive to PARP inhibitors such as olaparib. The DNA minor groove binder trabectedin leads to DNA double strand breaks and PARP activation. The combination of Trabectedin + Olaparib (TrO) may therefore have synergistic effects in HRD-positive tumours.

#4588 Spatial transcriptomics identifies Wnt signalling in multifocal ileal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Ileal neuroendocrine tumours (i-NETs) often present with multiple primary tumours (>30-40%). Recent studies showed no shared somatic mutations in multiple primary tumours, highlighting the need to examine the tumour microenvironment in tumorigenesis. The Wnt signalling pathway is crucial for organ stem cell regulation. While the Wnt/β-catenin pathway influences prostate and pancreatic NET/Cs, its role in i-NETs remains unclear.

#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.

#4560 Genetic trajectory and clonal evolution of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours with lymph node and liver metastasis
