#2214

Introduction: Representative data on the gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) in Asian patients is rare, especially in China.

Aim(s): This study was aimed to reveal the trend of using CT to diagnose GEP-NENs in China from 2001-2010.

Materials and methods: This was a hospital-based, nation-wide, and multi-center 10-year (2001-2010) retrospective study which collected GEP-NEN patients’ information in tertiary referral hospitals. All 2010 inpatient GEP-NEN cases with confirmed pathology in the selected hospitals were included. The imaging diagnostic results were collected. The number and sensitivity of CT in diagnosing gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms were compared these ten years.
