Survival Trends in Patients with Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours-A Cohort Study in Central Norway.

ABSTRACT: Improved surgical resection and oncological treatment, or an earlier diagnosis may increase survival in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs), but only few studies have examined survival trends. We aimed to examine the trend in overall survival and associated factors in SI-NET patients. All patients with SI-NETs at a regional hospital from June 2005 to December 2021 (n = 242) were identified, and the cohort was divided in half, constituting a first period (until November 2012) and a second period (from November 2012).
