Experience of a Single Italian Center with NET Patients

#793

Introduction: The management of neuroendocrine tumors involves a multidisciplinary approach, so in 2004 the Endocrinology and Metabolic Unit developed a local/regional network to manage NET patients and to increase physician awareness of the disease.

Aim(s): A retrospective study of patients diagnosed with NET from 1990 to 2012 was gathered, including data regarding NET epidemiology in order to examine some characteristics of the health care/assistance process.

Materials and methods: Data collection from the hospital's computerized clinical charts, old hand-written records, and the “NET Management Study” database. Besides the demographic-epidemiological data, information was acquired regarding the dates of the initial symptoms, of the first clinical visit, of confirmed diagnosis and first endocrinological visit.
