#3794

Introduction: Gender differences affect the treatment of several diseases in both male and female patients. However, the influence of gender on treatment decisions and outcome in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) has scarcely been investigated.

Aim(s): Comparison of tumor characteristics, treatment decisions and outcome of patients with NENs, stratified by gender.

Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of the SwissNET cohort involving NENs of gastroenteropancreatic, pulmonal or unknown origin from 07/14 – 09/21. Site of origin, tumor grading, time to first treatment, choice of treatment and overall survival was assessed.
