Anticancer activity of Cabozantinib and Temozolomide in cell lines derived from lung carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Introduction:
Limited therapeutic options are available for patients with advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Cabozantinib (CBZ), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor including c-MET pathway, and Temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating agent enhancing the anti-angiogenic effect of CBZ, are emerging as promising treatments in NENs.

Everolimus (RAD001) induces tumor response in patients with medullary thyroid cancer: an in vivo and in vitro study
Introduction:
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the thyroid C cells which is known to express somatostatin receptors. Octreotide, a somatostatin analogue exerting both antisecretory and antitumor activity in different types of NETs, has shown low efficacy in MTC. Everolimus (RAD001), an inhibitor of mTOR, has shown antitumor effects in patients with NETs and synergistic effects when combined with octreotide. Until recently, RAD001 has never been evaluated in MTC.
