#3053 The Splicing Machinery Is Dysregulated in Low Grade Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Alternative splicing dysregulation is increasingly regarded as a novel cancer hallmark influencing all key tumor features. We have shown that neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) overexpress aberrantly spliced variants of neuropeptides and receptors that increase tumor malignancy. More recently, we discovered that the splicing machinery is dysregulated in pituitary and pancreatic NETs. To date, the status of this machinery in low grade pulmonary NETs is largely unknown.

#3015 Biopsy Specimen Diagnosis in Pulmonary Carcinoids, A Shot in the Dark

Introduction: Pulmonary carcinoids (PCs) are rare well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, which can be separated into typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical carcinoid (AC). Advised treatment for local carcinoid disease is surgical resection using lobectomy, while parenchymal saving strategies such as sub-lobar or endobronchial resection might be considered for TC. In general, pre-operative diagnosis using a (transbronchial/transthoracic) biopsy sample is performed to demonstrate malignancy. However, TC and AC classification can solely be performed on surgical resection specimens, which may challenge pre-operative treatment decisions.

#2972 Characteristics and Management of Paragangliomas, 10 Years Experience

Introduction: Paraganglioma (PG) is a rare extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumor, with common sites of presentation being abdomen, and head and neck region. The majority of PGs appear to be sporadic. However, almost half of cases are associated with an inherited syndrome. The highest malignancy rates are seen in paragangliomas (PGs) associated with SDHB mutations, which are usually abdominal and secretory.

#2820 Efficacy of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy for Esthesioneuroblastoma

Introduction: Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignancy with limited therapeutic options when unresectable or metastatic. The overexpression of cell-surface somatostatin receptors in ENB is a potential molecular target making it amenable to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). High-level evidence supporting PRRT has been published for unresectable gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours; however, data is limited for PRRT efficacy for ENB.
