Aim(s): Data collected on 344 pts between 1990-2013 on residence, NEN type, age and metastases at diagnosis, survival, clinical course length, diagnostic tools, specialist visits, therapy. Survival and progression-free survival (PFS) analyzed by sex, NEN type, metastases at diagnosis.

Materials and methods: Mean age at diagnosis was 59.8 yrs (19-87 yrs), 50.3% males. Lungs and pancreas most affected; primarily non-functioning of the pancreas and typical carcinoid. Diagnoses of NEN/yr increased gradually to >30 cases/yr from 2009 on, greater in GEP-NEN. Between 2003-2013 there were 19.7 cases/100000 inhabitants; 20.8% had liver metastases at diagnosis. Survival was 1 mo - 23.7 yrs; 31.6% of pts died, 71.1% due to NEN.
