#3030 Targeting CXCR4 and Thioredoxin Reductase in Theranostics of Atypical Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Introduction: Atypical carcinoid and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are currently incurable. There is thus a critical need for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (LNEN). Chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), a G protein coupled receptor and theranostic target, plays a crucial role in metastases of LNEN. We hypothesize combination of thioredoxin reductase (TR) inhibitor represents a metabolic strategy to enhance cytotoxicity in peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) of LNEN.

#3016 DLL3 Is Expressed in GEP-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms with Loss of RB1 and Has Prognostic Significance

Introduction: The negative notch regulator DLL3 has gained increasing attention in tumors with neuroendocrine features, in particular SCLC, LCNEC and neuroendocrine prostate cancer, both as prognostic marker and candidate therapeutic target. No data are available on the expression of DLL3 in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs).

#3013 Structurally-Optimized Peptide VMT-Alpha-NET Enhances the Efficacy of SSTR2-Targeted Alpha-Particle Therapy for Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: 203Pb/212Pb is a promising theranostics pair for SSTR2-targeted alpha-particle therapy for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The development of SSTR2-targeted peptides that are optimized for the Pb isotopes has the potential to improve performance.

#3007 An mRNA-based Classifier Identifies PanNETs with Different Clinicopathological Characteristics

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that varies from indolent to highly aggressive diseases. Previous studies have suggested alterations of ATRX/DAXX as biomarkers of dismal prognosis, yet inconclusive data (especially in the metastatic setting) prevent those biomarkers to be used as routine clinical tests.
