Survival Trends Of Metastatic Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor: Seer Analysis.

e13561Background: Incidence rates of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SNETs) are increasing and has become the most common type of small intestinal cancer. SNETs often present with distant metastasis. Significant uncertainty prevails regards to the management for metastatic SNETs. The aim of our study is to evaluate survival trends metastatic SNET patients based on therapy rendered. Methods: We analyzed the data from the SEER database: Incidence - SEER 18 Regs Research Data + Hurricane Katrina Impacted Louisiana Cases, Nov 2016 Sub (1973-2014 varying). Relative survival rates (RSR) and hazard ratios (HR) were measured for patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. Therapy received was divided into two broad categories; surgery resection and no surgery. It was further subcategorized into local resection (LR) and radical resection (RR). Results: A total of 1138 SNET cases were identified. The median age of patients was 61 years. The median relative survival of entire patient population was 41 months w...
