#4646 Dysregulated miRNA in patients with GEP-NEN and potential role as circulating biomarker

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a class of rare and molecularly extremely heterogeneous tumours. NENs arise predominantly in the gastrointestinal (GEP) and pulmonary tracts but can also involve thyroid and breast. NENs often present with non-specific symptoms and lack early specific biomarkers, leading to frequent metastatic diagnoses and primary site challenges.

#4629 Identification of putative master regulators in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours using gene expression data and network inference

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) are a heterogenous group of pancreatic malignancies with a unique biology and pathophysiology. Tumour grade and extension are commonly used for prognostic determination. Current pathologic grading system needs regular updates to refine prognostic classification. Genomic screening may provide more objective classes and reflect tumour biology.

#4594 RNA splicing as a key regulatory player with translational potential in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (lungNETs)

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a diverse group of neoplasms arising from neuroendocrine cells. Within this group, lung neuroendocrine tumours (LungNETs) represent one of the most frequent subtypes of NETs. LungNETs are classified by grade, according to their proliferative index and aggressiveness. Among them, typical carcinoids (G1) and atypical carcinoids (G2) are the lowest grade subtypes. While these tumours are less aggressive, they remain underexplored compared to higher-grade subtypes, highlighting the need for molecular studies to improve clinical approaches. In this context, previous studies have shown that abnormalities in the splicing machinery are frequent in tumour pathologies and also occur in LungNETs.

#4590 Association of SST5TMD4 and SST5TMD5 expression with metastasis and poor prognostic markers in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The expression of the somatostatin receptor isoform SST5TMD4 is linked to poorer prognosis in somatotropinomas, as well as in breast and thyroid cancers, and it is notably overexpressed in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs).

#4588 Spatial transcriptomics identifies Wnt signalling in multifocal ileal neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Ileal neuroendocrine tumours (i-NETs) often present with multiple primary tumours (>30-40%). Recent studies showed no shared somatic mutations in multiple primary tumours, highlighting the need to examine the tumour microenvironment in tumorigenesis. The Wnt signalling pathway is crucial for organ stem cell regulation. While the Wnt/β-catenin pathway influences prostate and pancreatic NET/Cs, its role in i-NETs remains unclear.
