Transcriptional immune characterization of the small bowel neuroendocrine tumor (SBNET) microenvironment

n=36

Age, median, range

63 (45-75)

• SBNET patients often present with metastatic disease; besides palliative surgery, there are very few good systemic therapeutic options (including immunotherapy) • Little is understood about the immune milieu of the SBNET tumor microenvironment and the potential signals that predict clinical outcomes and response

Transcriptional analysis revealed a distinct subset of patients who were high in cancer testis antigen and interleukin expression

Unsupervised clustering into CT Antigen hi and interleukin hi groups formed the same cohort of 8 patients (6 of 8 had metastatic disease)

PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) is one of the mostwidelystudiedcancer testis antigens with tumor-specific expression across multiple tumor types

CTA/IL high patients have higher intratumoral CD8 T cells, which may indicate an immune-mediated impact on improved survival
