#4656 Development of a 3D patient-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel model of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour and mesenteric fibrosis

Introduction: The pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) is poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments and biomarkers. A major barrier to research is the lack of disease models.

#4647 Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour cells in a 3D spheroid model

Introduction: At diagnosis, over 50% of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) have metastasised to the mesentery where they often induce extensive fibrosis. Recent studies highlight the crucial interaction between SI-NET cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis (MF).

#4129 Validation of a radiomics model to predict symptoms complications from small intestinal NET mesenteric metastases – Preliminary report

Introduction: The development of mesenteric metastases and associated mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NET) can cause significant complications and have implications in patients’ survival. CT is suboptimal for accurate assessment of the degree of fibrosis and prediction of complications. A better model is needed, therefore, in order to select patients who may benefit from a prophylactic surgical approach in the mesentery. Recently the promising role of a radiomics model was shown as a predictive tool for development of complications of mesenteric metastases/fibrosis in 68 patients.

#4041 Mesenteric fibrosis in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs): Pathogenesis and therapeutic targets

Introduction: Mesenteric fibrosis (MF) affects up to 50% of small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) patients, causing significant morbidity and mortality. MF pathophysiology is poorly understood, limiting treatment development and biomarker identification.
