Clinical Characteristics and Overall Survival of Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (LCNEC) Compared to Other Subtypes of Lung Cancer: Results of a Population-based Registry
#1192
Introduction: LCNEC is a rare non-small cell lung cancer subtype and clinical behavior is unclear.
Aim(s): To analyze incidence, patient (pt) characteristics, metastatic pattern and overall survival (OS) of LCNEC and compare data with small-cell (SCLC), squamous cell (SqCC) and adenocarcinomas (AdC).
Materials and methods: Histologically confirmed LCNEC, SCLC, SqCC and AdC cases diagnosed between 2003-2012 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Cohorts of stage I-II, III and IV disease were compared for pt characteristics, metastasis at diagnosis (≥2006) and OS. Multivariate Cox regression was performed; if non-proportional, time dependent Hazard ratios (HR) were reported.
