#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.

#4644 First results of peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy in the Russian population of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in a number of clinical trials and has become widely used in the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) expressing somatostatin receptors.

#4601 Pembrolizumab combined with cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide in treatment naïve advanced Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC): The phase II PANDORA Trial

Introduction: MCC is a rare and aggressive skin neuroendocrine tumour with high metastatic potential and mortality. Therapeutic options in metastatic/unresectable MCC are based on immunotherapy or platinum-based chemotherapy. However, a subgroup of patients (pts) has primary immunoresistance disease, so it would be important discover active upfront combinations. PANDORA trial [NCT 06086288] is an open-label, multicentre, single-arm phase II trial evaluating the activity and safety of pembrolizumab (PEM) combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as 1st line treatment in pts with metastatic, unresectable or recurrence MCC. Supported in part by a research grant from Investigator-Initiated Studies Program of MSD.

#4556 Optimising the establishment of patient-derived models for neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are clinically and molecularly diverse, with limited understanding of their tumour biology. Efforts to develop patient-derived models have been unsuccessful, highlighting an urgent need for accurate models to support fundamental research.

#4549 Alpha-Fetoprotein as a valuable biomarker in neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a rare group of tumours that pose a significant diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic challenge. This complexity arises from the diversity and heterogeneity of these neoplasms, as well as from the limitations of commonly used biomarkers in clinical practice. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal protein widely used primarily for congenital defects in prenatal diagnostics and in certain malignancies in adults.
