Comparison of Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors With Quality of Life in the General US Population

Abstract

Patients with NET reported worse HRQL scores compared to the general population. NET-related symptoms such as diarrhea and flushing were associated with reduced quality of life in this cross-sectional study. Optimal management of NET and carcinoid syndrome may significantly improve HRQL among patients with NETs.
