19noNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are classified based on morphology and are graded based on their proliferation rate as either well-differentiated low-grade (G1) to intermediate (G2-G3) or poorly differentiated high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC G3). Recently, in gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs, a new subgroup of well-differentiated high-grade tumors (NET G3) has been divided from NEC by WHO due to its different clinical-pathologic features. Although several mutational analyses have been performed, a molecular classification of NET is an unmet need in particular for G3, which tends to be more aggressive and have less benefit to the available therapies. Specifically, new possible prognostic and, above all, predictive factors are highly awaited, giving the basis for new treatments. Alteration of KRAS, TP53, and RB1 is mainly reported, but also druggable alterations, including BRAF and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H), have been documented in subsets of patients. In addition, PD-L1 demonstrated to be highly expressed in G3 NETs, probably becoming a new biomarker for G3 neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) discrimination and a predictive one for immunotherapy response. In this review, we describe the current knowledge available on a high-grade NET molecular landscape with a specific focus on those harboring potentially therapeutic targets in the advanced setting.openopenMichele Prisciandaro, Maria Antista, Alessandra Raimondi, Francesca Corti, Federica Morano, Giovanni Centonze, Giovanna Sabella, Alessandro Mangogna, Giovanni Randon, Filippo Pagani, Natalie Prinzi, Monica Niger, Salvatore Corallo, Erica Castiglioni di Caronno, Marco Massafra, Maria Di Bartolomeo, Filippo de Braud, Massimo Milione, Sara PuscedduPrisciandaro, Michele; Antista, Maria; Raimondi, Alessandra; Corti, Francesca; Morano, Federica; Centonze, Giovanni; Sabella, Giovanna; Mangogna, Alessandro; Randon, Giovanni; Pagani, Filippo; Prinzi, Natalie; Niger, Monica; Corallo, Salvatore; Castiglioni di Caronno, Erica; Massafra, Marco; Di Bartolomeo, Maria; de Braud, Filippo; Milione, Massimo; Pusceddu, Sar
