#747 A Single-Center, Open-Label, Phase II, Proof-of-Concept Study with Pasireotide LAR in Patients with Progressive Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC): Preliminary Data
Introduction: MTC is a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor in which somatostatin receptor (sst) expression is higher for sst1 and sst5 than for sst2. This may explain why the available sst2–selective analogues do not work in these patients and why pasireotide (SOM230), a novel, multi-receptor targeted somatostatin analogue with high-binding affinity for sst1, 2, 3 and sst5 could be effective.

#2732 Prostate Metastasis of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma in a Young Patient with MEN2B Syndrome
Introduction: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2B is associated with particularly early onset medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Metastatic MTC is the leading cause of early death in MEN2B. The usual sites of metastasis are neck, mediastinum, lung, liver, bone and brain.

#2813 Clinical Presentation and Prognosis of Patients with Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare type of tumor that originates from parafollicular C-cells and accounts for 3–4% of all malignant thyroid neoplasms. MTC presents as sporadic (75–80%) or inherited tumors (20–25%). Hereditary MTC is part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).

#3074 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and DIPNECH: An Unexpected Association
Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumour of the C-cells of thyroid gland. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cells hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare condition, thought to be primarily a neuroendocrine proliferative process which can develop into carcinoid tumours.

#108 Everolimus (RAD001) induces tumor response in patients with medullary thyroid cancer: an in vivo and in vitro study
Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the thyroid C cells which is known to express somatostatin receptors. Octreotide, a somatostatin analogue exerting both antisecretory and antitumor activity in different types of NETs, has shown low efficacy in MTC. Everolimus (RAD001), an inhibitor of mTOR, has shown antitumor effects in patients with NETs and synergistic effects when combined with octreotide. Until recently, RAD001 has never been evaluated in MTC.
