Contemporary Incidence and Survival of Lung Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

While the epidemiology of overall and gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) has been reported, data specific to lung NENs remain scarce.

Objective

To examine the incidence, overall survival (OS), and lung cancer-specific death for lung NENs.

Design, setting, and participants

Population-based retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada, of adult patients with incident lung NENs from 2000 to 2020. Data were analyzed from July to December 2024.

Main outcomes and measures

Yearly incidence rates of lung NENs. OS examined with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models. Lung cancer-specific deaths using cumulative incidence function and Fine-Gray models accounting for the competing risk of death from other causes.
