Clinical characteristics and survival of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma in 11 different primary tumor sites in the United States, 1975–2016

Abstract

There was an increasing trend of EPSCC incidence. The survival of EPSCC in different tumor sites was significantly different. Tumor locations, age, gender, marital status, stage, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were all important factors of survival. This study has implications for EPSCC prevention and treatment.
