The arrival of multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) into clinical practice has brought notable progress in the management of advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). This review aims at exploring the impact of MKIs in reshaping the treatment landscape for advanced GEP-NETs. Current approaches in managing advanced GEP-NETs are discussed, including somatostatin analogs, surgery, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, and approved systemic treatments such as everolimus or sunitinib. The limitations and challenges faced in treating these tumors remain significant. Here, we review the clinical evidence supporting the use of everolimus as a targeted therapy, which has demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS), and the need for alternative therapies. Discussions focus on the clinical effectiveness and the emerging role of both established and novel MKIs in the treatment of GEP-NETs, including recent evidence from the CABINET trial and other emerging agents such as surufatinib, axitinib, pazopanib, and lenvatinib. We explore the clinical evidence that showcases sunitinib's and other MKIs' effectiveness in prolonging PFS compared to placebo in advanced GEP-NETs. Recently, MKIs have shown to have a significant impact for the treatment of advanced GEP-NETs. There remain several unmet needs that must be addressed, particularly regarding optimal treatment sequencing and the development of predictive biomarkers.

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) hold promise as blood-borne biomarkers of adrenocortical cancer (ACC).

Our aim was to evaluate the interchangeability of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) for measuring circulating miRNAs and to investigate whether K2- and K3-EDTA as anticoagulants influence the measurements. Blood samples were drawn simultaneously from 20 participants into K2- and K3-EDTA tubes. Three miRNAs shown to be associated with ACC (miR-483-5p, miR-210-3p, miR-21-5p), together with two controls (miR-16-5p, cel-miR-39-3p), were analyzed using RT-qPCR and dPCR. qPCR and dPCR results showed different correlations in K2- and K3-EDTA samples, with K2 performing better regarding ΔCt values. Moreover, proportional biases related to low or high miRNA expressions between the two methods were observed. In qPCR measurements, K3-EDTA samples showed larger standard deviations, particularly for cel-miR-39. While raw Ct values differed between K2- and K3-EDTA only for miR-483-5p, ΔCt values showed statistically significant differences across all miRNAs except for miR-483-5p. dPCR results were not affected by the choice of anticoagulant. In conclusion, this is the first study demonstrating that dPCR and qPCR results are not easily interchangeable for circulating miRNA, particularly for abundant or rare miRNAs, making cross-validation studies challenging. K2- and K3-EDTA could potentially influence qPCR outcomes, underscoring the need for standardized protocols.
