#4396 Hypoxic microenvironment in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The hypoxic microenvironment is a hallmark of many solid tumours, including neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Hypoxia plays a crucial role in tumour progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. However, the specific mechanisms by which hypoxia influences NET behaviour remain poorly understood.

#4163 Metabolite biomarker discovery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors using metabolomic approach

Introduction: Metabolic flexibility is one of the key hallmarks of cancer and metabolites are the final products of this adaptation, reflecting the tumors’ aberrant changes. However, the metabolic plasticity of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) is still unknown. pNETs are heterogeneous which makes their diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management difficult.

#4158 Transcriptomic analysis of PanNET tumor progression from microtumor to metastasis in MEN1 patients

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PanNENs) are a major component the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 Syndrome (MEN1). Although multiple pancreatic neuroendocrine microtumors (microadenomatosis) are a histomorphological hallmark of MEN1, their molecular status compared to PanNET as well as their metastasis remains unclear.

#4103 The evolutionary history of metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors reveals a therapy driven route to high-grade transformation

Introduction: Tumor evolution with acquisition of more aggressive disease characteristics is a hallmark of disseminated cancer. Metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) in particular, show frequent progression from a low/intermediate to a high-grade disease.

#4086 Prognostic significance of metabolomics clusters in extra-pancreatic NETs: Lung NET sub-analysis

Introduction: Metabolic flexibility is one of the key hallmarks of cancer and metabolites are the final products of this adaptation, reflecting the aberrant changes that support cancer cells proliferation and survival. In a previous metabolomics study carried out by our group, multiplatform untargeted metabolomic profiling (GC-MS, CE-MS and LC-MS) performed on plasma samples from 77 advanced G1-2 extra-pancreatic NET patients demonstrated that these patients have a distinct metabolomic profile, and identified methionine, porphyrin and tryptophan metabolism as the most relevant dysregulated pathways associated with the prognosis of NETs. Furthermore, a 3-metabolite signature was able to stratify patients in 3 distinct prognostic clusters, with cluster 3 associated with the best prognosis.
