Epidemiological profile and survival of neuroendocrine tumors of the ampulla of Vater

#3771

Introduction: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors are rare, they represent nearly 2% of digestive NETs. Their incidence is increasing due to better detection. The diagnosis is often late because of the non-specific symptomatology of the tumor. The 5-year survival of duodenal NETs is 68% when the tumor is diagnosed at an early stage.

Aim(s): Determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics and estimate the 1-year survival of three patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the ampulla of Vater.

Materials and methods: Data were obtained from two years of recording as part of monitoring by the hospital cancer registry of the Hospital and University Establishment of Oran (Algeria). The central coding is carried out using the CIMO2 and CIM10 supports.
