Nuevos marcadores diagnósticos y opciones terapéuticas en tumores neuroendocrinos
The general aims of the studies presented in this thesis are:
1. To identify potential novel tissue biomarkers for lung carcinoids and GEP-NETs
2. To evaluate the antitumor effect of registered drugs (for other medical purposes) in NETs
3. To evaluate the effects of novel drugs on NET hormone release and cell proliferation
Specifically, we studied the potential applicability of ghrelin and somatostatin systems as biomarkers in tissue samples of lung carcinoids and GEP-NETs. As registered drugs for other medical purposes, we evaluated the antitumor effects of ketoconazole, metformin and statins. Finally, somatostatin-dopamine receptor chimeras and telotristat were studied as novel drugs for hormone release and cell growth control.
