#4654 Usefulness of soluble tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors R2 and R3 in progression assessment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms – A preliminary study

Introduction: TRAIL is a member of TNF family and appears in membrane and soluble (s) forms. It acts either triggering (R1 and R2) or blocking (R3 and R4) apoptosis. TRAIL targeted therapy is widely studied and known as potentially effective in number of neoplasms.

#4650 Whole exome sequencing in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms: Findings from a pilot investigation

Introduction: The molecular landscape of lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is still poorly characterised. Lung NETs main prognostic factors currently include stage, histotype, grade, location, and demographic parameters, but molecular biomarkers are still not available, limiting the possibility for personalised therapeutic strategies.

#4618 The exceptionally rare phenomenon of well-differentiated colon neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Colonic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared to other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated NECs, leading to unclear data on prevalence, clinical behaviour, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs.

#4613 Correlation of serum cytokeratin 18, ferritin, cancer antigen 125, and beta-2 microglobulin with tumour grade and stage in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) remain challenging to diagnose, with limited reliable serum biomarkers available for early detection and prognostication.

#4609 External validation of Rachel score: A prognostic tool for lung neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Lung NETs are a heterogeneous group of tumours with variegated clinical presentation and course. The histological subtype (TC vs AC) and TNM stage are established prognostic factors. In a previous work by our group, we developed a prognostic model named Rachel score, with a satisfactory ability to predict OS and PFS in this population.
