الوصف: Background: The success of targeted therapies in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors has emphasized the strategy of targeting angiogenesis and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. However, the major challenge in the targeted era remains the early identification of resistant tumors especially when the efficacy is rarely associated to a clear tumor shrinkage at by imaging assessment. Methods: In this prospective study (NCT02305810) we investigated the predictive and prognostic role of soluble biomarkers of angiogenesis turnover (VEGF, bFGF, VEGFR2, TSP-1) circulating endothelial cells and progenitors, in 43 patients with metastatic panNET receiving everolimus. Results: Among all tested biomarkers, we found a specific subpopulation of circulating cells, CD31+CD140b-, with a significantly increased tumor progression hazard for values less or equal to the first quartile. Conclusion: Our study suggested the evidence that circulating cells might be surrogate biomarkers of angiogenesis activity in patients treated with everolimus and their baseline levels can be correlated with survival. However, further studies are now needed to validate the role of these cells as surrogate markers for the selection of patients to be candidates for antiangiogenic treatments.
