#3461 Gender specific differences in overall survival (OS) in patients with pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in a large United Kingdom (UK) tertiary centre

Introduction: Pulmonary NENs account for approximately 2% of all pulmonary malignancy. Overall survival data is mainly based on the USA SEER database or surgical cohorts, but data for the UK population is lacking. Only a few studies report on gender related outcomes and demonstrate no sex differences in overall survival.
