Epidemiologic Trends of and Factors Associated With Overall Survival for Patients With Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although the incidence and prevalence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) have been thought to have increased during the past decades, updated epidemiologic and survival data are lacking.

Objectives

To conduct an epidemiologic and survival analysis of the largest cohort of patients with GEP-NETs using the latest data and to establish a novel nomogram to predict the survival probability of individual patients with GEP-NETs.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, 43 751 patients with GEP-NETs diagnosed from January 1, 1975, to December 31, 2015, were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Associated data were used for epidemiologic and survival analysis, as well as the establishment and
