Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and paragangliomas (PGLs), commonly referred to as PPGLs, as well as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs), belong to the group of neuroendocrine tumors. We found dysregulation of PI3K/AKT and the CDK4/6 pathway in these tumors. Consequently, we could show that the treatment of both PPGLs and pNETs with PI3K and CDK4/6 inhibitors is highly effective and has clinical potential. Additionally, we could characterize PPGL tumors occurring in MENX rats and show that PGLs show a more aggressive behavior than PCCs.
