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

Abstract

In this study, the incidence and prevalence of GEP-NETs have continued to increase over 40 years, especially among patients with rectal GEP-NETs. In addition, this study suggests that a nomogram with 5 prognostic parameters may accurately quantify the risk of death among patients with GEP-NETs, indicating that it has satisfactory clinical practicality.
