#1129 Expression and Clinical Significance of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Large T Antigen in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer that is often associated with Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection. MCPyV expression and its relationship with clinical features and prognosis in MCC remain unclear.

#836 Grade Increases In Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastases Compared to the Primary Tumor

Introduction: The neuroendocrine tumor (NET) proliferation-based grading system (ENETS/WHO) has proved reliable for prognostic stratification of gastroenteropancreatic tumors (GEP). Although anecdotes have been published, no single study has evaluated whether grade changes between primary site and metastases.
