#4668 Predictive factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with neuroendocrine tumour of the lung: Prospective analysis of clinicopathologic features and radiomics

Introduction: In localised and locally advanced forms neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the lung radical surgical resection represents the standard of care, several clinicopathologic factors are potentially associated with recurrence of disease.

#4666 Merkel cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin: High response rates to short course palliative radiotherapy – Typical clinical scenarios

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC) are a rare, aggressive skin neuroendocrine carcinomas, with peak incidence in the elderly. MCC often presents as a firm, red/purple painless nodule with a short history of increasing size. Surgery is considered the 1st line treatment but elderly patients, in particular, have comorbidities which may preclude radical surgery requiring reconstruction. In advanced MCC, immunotherapy (IO) is 1st line systemic treatment. Chemotherapy is used 2nd line or if contraindications for IO but can be challenging in an elderly population. There may be an emerging role for PRRT due to the presence of somatostatin receptors on MCC. Radiotherapy (RT) can be used for non-surgical candidates, or those with unresectable or metastatic disease. Adjuvant post-operative irradiation (PORT) may provide additional benefit in risk reduction and improves local control.

#4661 Comparison of preoperative chemotherapy and radio ligand therapy on prognosis after surgical resection for locally advanced or hepatic metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The role of preoperative treatments in improving the rate of radical resection and survival of either locally advanced (LA) or hepatic metastatic (HM) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (panNETs) is unclear.

#4660 Clinical significance of interval imaging in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) receiving peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)

Introduction: PRRT is an effective therapy for advanced NENs with SSTR-avid disease, however, the role of interval imaging in between PRRT cycles and its benefit is unknown.

#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.
