Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: Epidemiological Trends in Queensland, Australia

The WHO 2010 classification has attempted to more accurately reflect the differing prognoses of this heterogeneous patient population by defining various patient subsets.

Aim(s): k

Materials and methods: Three thousand cases of NEN identified from 1982 to 2009, in the Queensland Oncology Repository (QOR), a cancer registry for a state of Australia. We included neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) in our analysis to determine the impact of the WHO 2010 classification in an Australian setting.
