#3320 TGF-β increase caspase activation and migration in typical bronchial carcinoids

Introduction: Typical bronchial carcinoids (TBC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) whose management can still be very challenging due to reduced sensitivity to therapy. Previous studies have reported TGF-β’s ability to activate mTOR pathway and induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, preliminary results show an overexpression of TGF-β signalling and caspase activation in TBC.

#2983 Differential TGF-β Signalling in Typical and Atypical Bronchial Carcinoids

Introduction: Typical and atypical bronchial carcinoids (TBC and ABC) are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Metastatic BC having low to moderate mitotic count may still be treated with somatostatin analogues and mTOR inhibitors; however, TBC and ABC have been reported to respond very differently to therapy and an effective treatment algorithm is still lacking. TGF-β is known for its ability to activate mTOR pathway and induce epithelial mesenchymal transition, affecting cell pathophysiological capabilities such as proliferation, migration and tissue invasiveness.

#2916 Pretherapeutic Heterogeneity of Somatostatin Receptor Expression in Neuroendocrine Neoplasia: An Innovative Predictor of Response to Everolimus?

Introduction: In patients with bronchopulmonary or gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) the mTOR inhibitor everolimus may prolong progression-free survival (PFS). However, this is countered by potentially significant toxicity.

#2910 Virotherapy Shows Promising Efficacy in Neuroendocrine Cancers

Introduction: So far, there have been only two clinical studies using virotherapeutics to treat neuroendocrine cancers (NCT00314925 & NCT02749331). Notably, none of these approaches employed a clinically approved virotherapeutic compound.

#2867 Experience of Treatment with Everolimus in Patients with Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) of Various Localizations at the NN Blokhin NMRCO, Moscow, Russia

Introduction: Everolimus (EVE) (mTOR inhibitor) is an effective drug in the treatment of well-differentiated NETs of different localizations, however, prognostic factors for the correct choice of therapy are not well understood.
