#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.

#4572 Steroid dosing to prevent tumour flare reaction with 177Lu-DOTATATE

Introduction: Tumour flare reactions including increased pain and small bowel obstruction (SBO) have been reported in patients with somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) receiving 177Lu-DOTATATE. Retrospective reviews report tumour flare reactions in 6 to 40 percent of high-risk patients receiving 177Lu-DOTATATE and report success with using corticosteroid prophylaxis to prevent tumour flare recurrence with subsequent doses of 177Lu-DOTATATE (Strosberg, et al., 2021; Salner, et al., 2020).

#4492 Utility of NETest 2.0 as a biomarker for neuroendocrine tumours: The Swiss experience – Real-world data

Introduction: The NETest 2.0 is a PCR assay of circulating mRNA, scored 0-100. It has been developed as a biomarker to diagnose neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) and to provide tumour prognostic information.

#4409 The value of NETest 2.0 in stratifying patients with suspected NEN for formal diagnostic evaluation – Real-world data

Introduction: An unmet need in NEN diagnosis is better risk stratification for individuals with suspected disease (based on symptoms or imaging), enabling efficient identification of those needing further evaluation and tissue diagnosis, thus speeding the process and reducing costs. NETest 2.0, a biomarker based on a 51-gene mRNA panel, was developed for diagnosing neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN).

#4398 The role of chromogranin A as a biomarker in neuroendocrine tumours: Diagnostic and prognostic implications

Introduction: Chromogranin A (CgA) is a widely used serum biomarker for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), reflecting tumour burden and secretory activity. Despite its clinical utility, the diagnostic sensitivity and prognostic value of CgA remain a subject of debate, especially given its potential for false positives and its variation across different NET subtypes.
