Angiogenetic Markers as Prognostic Predictors in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Abstract #3043
Introduction: Neoangiogenesis is crucial for NEN development and metastatization.
Aim(s): To evaluate the role of angiogenetic markers in NEN aggressiveness and prognosis.
Materials and methods: We performed a prospective observational study including 40 patients (pts) with proven NENs and 32 healthy controls (Ctrl) well matched for age, sex, BMI, smoking and comorbidities. Pro-angiogenic factors were measured in serum by ELISA method (soluble sTIE2 and ANG2) and on tissue sections in 10 pts by immunohistochemistry (ANG2, TIE2 and prokineticin peptides-PROKs). Groups were compared using Mann-Witney test.

#2970 Characteristics, Treatments and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients (pts) with G3 Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs)
Introduction: Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors G3 (NETsG3) pts have a different biological behavior compared to those with neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Sensitivity to platinum depends on Ki67 and there is no standard second line (2L). Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are predictive factors of cancer survival, but with limited evidence in NENs.

#2215 Development of Multiplex Biomarker Assay to Subtype Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) with Distinct Prognosis and Mutations
Introduction: Overall 5-year survival for PanNETs ranges from 25-100%. The treatment paradigm for PanNETs largely based upon grades, which is significantly heterogeneous. We previously defined three molecular subtypes (distributed grades) of PanNETs using PanNETassigner signature. There is an unmet clinical need for prognostic and predictive biomarkers and clinically-relevant assays to complement grade and improve patient stratification.

#2707 Investigating the Crosstalk between MEN1, p53 and Notch Reveals Biomarkers of Formation of Primary Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of endocrine tumors. Previous studies showed that mutations of p53 are extremely rare; whereas genetic changes of MEN1 frequently occur and are correlated with poor prognosis in PNET. Still, their roles in tumorigenesis remain elusive.

#2844 Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumor with Chromogranin Expression Is Associated with Aggressive Clinical Behavior and Worse Prognosis
Introduction: Although rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with L-cell phenotype and small tumor size generally had better clinical behavior, the new 2019 WHO classification classified all rectal NETs are malignant without considering L-cell phenotype and small tumor size. Therefore, identifying biomarkers of rectal NETs is important to stratify the clinical behavior of rectal NETs.

#1517 Additional Value for Urinary 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid as Prognostic Marker in Neuroendocrine Tumors?
Introduction: 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid (5-HIAA) is of value for diagnosis of NETs and correlates with severity of carcinoid syndrome. However its value for determining prognosis is uncertain, particularly in combination with other biomarkers
