Antitumoral Effect of Everolimus in Preclinical Models of Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinomas Abstract #602
Introduction: For the small and large cells poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDNECs) emergency treatment remains the combination cisplatin/etoposide. However, recent studies suggest that targeted therapies could be a therapeutic option for this group of highly aggressive carcinomas.
Aim(s): To evaluate the antitumor effect of everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, in preclinical models of PDNECs.
Materials and methods: The effect of everolimus on the activity of the mTOR pathway was assessed in two endocrine tumor cell lines: STC-1 and GluTag. Grafted to immunodeficient mice, these cells induce intrahepatic tumors representative of PDNECs by their morphological characteristics, their high proliferative activity and constitutive activation of the mTOR pathway.

#2683 Clinicopathological Features and Prognostic Analysis of 227 Cases with Well-Differentiated Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction: Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (g-NENs) are a group of rare tumors with a strong heterogeneity, subdivided as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs, type 1-3 g-NETs) and poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma(NECs). WHO classification(2019) for digestive system tumours has carried out a new classification and grading criteria for NENs of the gastrointestinal tract recently, there is very few relevant clinical data based on this new classification, especially for gastric NETs(g-NETs).

#2727 Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours versus Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Presentation in Tunisian Patients
Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are divided into two groups on the basis of clinical behaviour, histology, and proliferation rate: well differentiated (low grade to intermediate grade) neuroendocrine tumors and poorly differentiated (high grade) neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Introduction: Grade 3 (G3) gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) are rare diseases with a poor prognosis. FOLFIRINEC is a multicenter comparative phase II study of mFOLFIRINOX vs platinum-etoposide (PE) as first line treatment for metastatic G3 NEC of GEP or unknown origin.
