#4556 Optimising the establishment of patient-derived models for neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are clinically and molecularly diverse, with limited understanding of their tumour biology. Efforts to develop patient-derived models have been unsuccessful, highlighting an urgent need for accurate models to support fundamental research.

#4312 Developing innovative, genetically modified, proliferation-regulated patient-derived models representing human well-differentiated GEP-NETs for drug screening

Introduction: The slow-growing nature of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) has limited the development of clinically relevant models, hindering the discovery in the field.

#4183 Establishment of novel patient-derived preclinical models for neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arise in different organs and are heterogeneous with limited treatment options. Preclinical models established from patient tumor specimens enable precision oncology by assessing the response to various drug treatments.

#4150 Uncovering the role of netrins and DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNEN) tumorigenesis

Introduction: DCC functions as a tumor suppressor and is altered in various tumors, including neuroendocrine neoplasms. Netrin (NTN)-1 serves as the primary ligand for DCC. Operating as a dependence receptor, DCC induces apoptosis without NTN and promotes cell survival in its presence. In some cancers like small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma, upregulation of NTN-3 rather than NTN-1 has been observed. However, the precise involvement of NTNs and DCC in PNEN remains unclear.
