Incidence and Survival of Patients with Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors in a Danish NET Center

#784

Introduction: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) have increased in incidence during the past decades. However, time trends from the Nordic countries are sparse.

Aim(s): To characterize and compare patients with small intestinal NET seen in the periods 1994 - 2003 (group 1) and 2004 - 2011 (group 2) to demonstrate changes in incidence and survival in the two time periods.

Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, we included 52 NET patients in group 1 and 109 patients in group 2. Data were retrieved from patient files and included clinical and biochemical characteristics, along with pathology reports and imaging.
