Survival of Patients with Neuroendocrine Cancers in Ontario Over the Last 15 Years

#537

Introduction: There has been an increased incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in Ontario, Canada, over the last 15 years but little is known about trends in survival.

Aim(s): To examine the survival and associated prognostic factors of NET patients in Ontario.

Materials and methods: A population-based study was initiated using the Ontario Cancer Registry, cross-linked with the Registered Persons Database and the Canadian Institute of Health Information Discharge Abstract Database. All cases of NETs were identified in Ontario (> 13 million persons) from 1994 to 2009. Baseline demographic, clinical and outcomes data were abstracted. A multivariate cox proportional hazards analysis was performed.
