Tumor-derived apolipoprotein E confers resistance to temozolomide in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
This study reveals a new functional role of APOE that leads to chemoresistance in patient treatment. Our findings suggest the potential of combined administration of BLT-1 to overcome TMZ chemoresistance and improve treatments for patients with pNETs.

Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumors Associated with Acid Suppressant Drugs are Frequently Associated with Very Prolonged Drug Use and May Show Unconventional Morphologies. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
Acid suppressant-associated gNETs have an indolent course, are often multiple, and are frequently associated with very prolonged PPI/H2RA use. Unconventional morphologies like those described in type 1 gNETs may be observed.

DOCK10 Regulates Insulin Hypersecretion in Insulinoma and Serves as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Target. (PubMed, Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol)
This study suggests that DOCK10 may serve as a diagnostic marker for insulin-secreting lesions and a potential therapeutic target in insulinoma. It provides mechanistic insights that may inform future strategies for precision diagnostics and treatment of functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

PancreaSeq Genomic Classifier (PancreaSeq GC) Improves Pancreatic Cyst Classification and Detection of Advanced Neoplasia: A Multi-institutional Validation Study. (PubMed, Ann Surg Oncol)
This validation study demonstrates statistically significant improvements in PancreaSeq GC for mucinous cysts and advanced neoplasia, establishing it as a clinically valuable tool for the preoperative evaluation of pancreatic cysts.

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors in patients with prior extrapituitary cancer - clinical and immunohistochemical insights into a complex association. Evidence from a retrospective series. (PubMed, Rom J Morphol Embryol)
The predominance of GH∕PRL-secreting PitNETs in patients with prior systemic malignancies supports the hypothesis of endocrine and molecular crosstalk through the GH∕insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis. Although causality cannot be established, these findings underscore the need for oncological surveillance and endocrine monitoring in patients with PitNETs, especially in those with a previous malignancy.

Targeted β--Particle Plus Conversion and Auger-Electron Therapy with 161Tb-Labeled Somatostatin Receptor Antagonist DOTA-LM3: A Phase 0 Study. (PubMed, J Nucl Med)
The tumor-to-bone marrow absorbed dose ratio was in the same range for [161Tb]Tb-DOTA-LM3 as for [177Lu]Lu-DOTATOC. The administration of 1 GBq of [161Tb]Tb-DOTA-LM3 was safe for all patients, without relevant adverse events.

Utility of Gallium-68-DOTATATE PET CT in Surveillance of Resected Gastroenteropancreatic NET. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
68Ga-DOTA best informed clinical decision making when there was clinical suspicion for residual or metastatic disease post-operatively or based on cross-sectional imaging or biochemistry. The utility of this modality for routine surveillance appears limited.

New Treatment Options for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Narrative Review. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
To improve treatment outcomes for patients with PanNETs, a multidisciplinary team should evaluate systemic treatment options. The aim of this article is to review currently available therapies and discuss new and emerging systemic treatment strategies for patients with advanced PanNETs.
