Improvement of lung NET management through standardized care – A Swiss nationwide observational study

#3692

Introduction: Typical (TC) and atypical carcinoids (AC) are the most common neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the lung. Being a rare disease, the management of these tumors varies widely among Swiss centers. The impact of guidelines introduced in 2015 is unknown.

Aim(s): Comparison of the management of Swiss patients before and after the publication of the expert consensus of the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) in 2015.

Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with TC and AC using data from the Swiss NET registry from 2009 to 2021, focusing on diagnostic evaluation and treatment before and after 2016. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan Meier method and log-rank test.
