  1. L’evoluzione della terapia medica: dagli analoghi della somatostatina alle terapie a bersaglio molecolare Salvatore Artale Oncologia Medica Falck Ospedale NIguarda Ca’ Granda Milano Milano 25.05.2007

  2. WHO Classification 2000 • Well differentiated endocrine tumors (benign or low grade malignancy) • Well differentiated endocrine carcinomas • Poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas (small cell carcinomas) • Mixed exocrine and endocrine carcinomas • Tumor-like lesions

  3. WHO Classification 2000 • THE DIFFERENTIATION IS BASED ON : • HISTOMORPHOLOGY • PRESENCE/ABSENCE OF LOC.INVASION/METASTASIS • PROLIFERATION INDEX (Ki67): • < 2% Well Diff.Tumors • > 2% / <15% Well.Diff.Carcinomas • > 15 % Poorly Diff.Carcinomas

  4. Neuroendocrine tumorsFrequency • Incidence: 1-2/ 100.000 • Autopsy series 8/100.000 • Carcinoid tumors are the most frequent type • (40% of all NETs)

  5. 5-year survival rate: 70%

  6. WHO Classification 2000 • Well differentiated endocrine tumors (benign or low grade malignancy) • Well differentiated endocrine carcinomas • Poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas (small cell carcinomas) • Mixed exocrine and endocrine carcinomas • Tumor-like lesions

  7. WHO Classification 2000 • Well differentiated endocrine carcinomas Which is the best treatment ?

  8. Medical treatment • Biotherapy ? • Chemotherapy ?

  9. Medical treatment • Biotherapy Somatostatin analogs Interferon-a Targeted therapy

  10. Objectives of Medical Treatment • Efficacy • Symptom control • Biochemical control • Control of tumor burden Criteria for evaluating the tumor response According to ITMO Group. Bajetta et al Q J Nucl Med 2000

  11. Clinical Presentation: non functioning tumours • Symptoms related to the mass effect: • Bowel obstruction • GI bleeding (rare)

  12. Clinical Presentation: functioning tumours • Carcinoid syndrome < 20%: • Cutaneous flushing: upper part of the body (80%) • Watery diarrhea and abdominal cramp (80%) • Bronchospasm • Endocardial fibrosis( 30-40 %): arrhythmia. Right heart insufficiency.

  13. Well Differentiated carcinomaand biotherapy • Rationales: NETs carry receptor(s) for growth factor responsable in cellular proliferation, angiogenesis,hormone secretion and clinical symptoms: • Insulin like growth factor-1 • PDGF-alpha • TGF-alpha • TGF-beta • VEGF expression 80-90% of NETs show high-affinity somatostatin receptors

  14. Somatostatin Analogues • Octreotide • Octreotide LAR • Pasireotide SOM 230 • Lanreotide • Lanreotide autogel (Lan ATG)

  31. Failure to Confirm Major Objective Antitumor Activity for Streptozotocin And Doxorubicin in the treatment of Patients with Advanced Islet Cell Carcinoma MSKCC. 2/92-2/98 16 patients with ICC treated with STZ + Doxo Results: 1/16 ( 6%) with imaging PR 9/16 (56%) with stable disease 6/16 (38%) progressed during treament Cheng et al Cancer 1999

  32. Lack of Efficacy of Streptozocin and Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Endocrine Tumors. McCollum, A David MD *; Kulke, Matthew H. MD +; Ryan, David P. MD [S]; Clark, Jeffrey W. MD [S]; Shulman, Lawrence N. MD +; Mayer, Robert J. MD +; Bartel, Sylvia RPH ++; Fuchs, Charles S. MD, MPH + Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 16 consecutive patients who received streptozocin and doxorubicin for advanced PETs at Dana Farber/Partners Cancer Care institutions. Baseline patient characteristics, radiographic response to therapy, treatment-related toxicity, progression-free and overall survival were analyzed. Results: One patient demonstrated an objective partial response to therapy (objective response rate [ORR], 6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0-18%). Six patients achieved stable disease (38%; 95% CI, 14-62%) and 9 patients demonstrated disease progression on initial restaging (56%; 95% CI, 33-77%). The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.9 months (95% CI, 2.8-8.8) and 20.2 months (95% CI, 9.7-37.4), respectively. Conclusions: In this retrospective cohort, the combination of treptozocin and doxorubicin failed to demonstrate substantial antitumor activityin patients with advanced PET. Our findings underscore the need for therapeutic options in this patient population. American Journal of Clinical Oncol 2004

  41. Role of angiogenesis in NET • Angiogenic growth factors contribute to tumor growth • VEGF is found in 84% of carcinoid and 59% of islet cell tumors • VEGFR is found in 71% of carcinoid and 67% of islet cell tumors • Suggests autocrine stimulation in carcinoid and islet cell tumors • The mTOR pathway regulates production of angiogenic growth factors and the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells Hobday et al.

  44. mTOR inhibitionAnti-NET activity via HIF-1 suppression • mTOR regulates HIF-1α and HIF-2α expression • HIF-1 and HIF-2 are transcription factors for hypoxic stress-related genes • HIF-1α/2α are normally degraded by VHL protein • HIF-1 and HIF-2 condition the tumor to adapt to growth under hypoxic conditions and promote angiogenesis and metastasis • In pancreatic NET, HIFs may contribute to tumor growth through mechanisms unrelated toVEGF HIF = hypoxia-inducible factor; VHL = von Hippel-Lindau protein.
