Duodenal Carcinoid Tumors are Associated with Increased Survival and Earlier Detection When Compared with Jejunal or Ileal Carcinoids: A Population Based Study

#500

Introduction: Seventy to eighty percent of small intestinal carcinoids (SIC) are found incidentally. Jejunal and ileal lesions can often be resected locally, but advanced duodenal carcinoids require high-risk pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Aim(s): To compare the epidemiology of SICs by intestinal site.

Materials and methods: We used the SEER database to identify patients diagnosed with SICs between 1973-2004, and stratified by small intestinal site. Chi-squared tests, KM methods and CPH models were used to compare sites.
