Gastrointestinal mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma: a population level analysis of epidemiological trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rise in incidence and mortality of gastrointestinal mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) has not been well focused. The aim of our study was to examine epidemiological trends in incidence and incidence-based (IB) mortality of gastrointestinal MANEC at a population level.

Methods

The incidence and IB mortality of gastrointestinal MANEC as well as data on affected patients from 2000 to 2016 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Trends in incidence and IB mortality were assessed using Joinpoint regression. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent predictors of mortality.

Results

581 patients diagnosed with gas
