Introduction: Immune tumor microenvironment plays a key role in tumorsÂ’ growth and metastatic spread, while its role in the heterogeneous field of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) remains unclear. There is evidence that tumor progression in NENs is promoted by an immunosuppressed microenvironment created by a plethora of infiltrating immune cells. Changes in circulating leukocyte and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subpopulations can mirror the local alteration of...

Context: Acromegaly is associated with several metabolic and cardio-respiratory comorbidities, with a relative increase in the last years of cancer mortality. Although the GH/ IGF-1 axis has long been supposed to play a role on immune modulation, immune function in acromegaly is poorly known.Objective: This observational, prospective, single site, pilot study (NCT05069324) aims to analyse peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) subpopulations in acrom...
