Aim(s): Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of other tumors (solid or hematological) in patients with NNE.

Materials and methods: Patients discussed in Multidisciplinary Neuroendocrine Tumor board from March 2017 until August 2021 were included. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.27.
