Abstract:
10572 Background: To evaluate the characteristics and trends amongst patients with neuroendocrine tumors in the United States. Methods: Data was obtained from the United States Cancer Statistics database from 2001 to 2018. SEER*Stat 8.3.9.2 and Joinpoint regression program 4.9.0.0 were used to calculate characteristics and trends of these cancers per 100,000. The age-adjusted incidences were determined based on the standard population in the United States from 2000. Results: Of 392,412 patients with neuroendocrine tumors, 53.1% were identified in women and 46.9% in men. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander and unknown race comprised 73.6%, 14.1%, 7.8%, 2.7%, and 1.7% of the patient population respectively. The majority (64.7%) of tumors originated from the digestive system, followed by 24.5% from the respiratory system. In 2018, the incidence of all neuroendocrine tumors was higher in older (70-79 years) patients as compared to younger ( 〈 50 years) ones at 30.17 vs. 2.79/100,000, in women as compared to men at 8.36 vs. 7.77/100,000, and in White patients as compared to Black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander patients (10.82, 10.15, 5.08 and 4.80/100,000 respectively). Amongst different types of neuroendocrine tumors, those originating from the digestive system had the highest incidence at 6.72/100,000 in the year 2018 with colon tumors being the most common subtype. On trend analysis, the groups with the highest annual percent increase included: younger ( 〈 50 years) patients increasing at 5.06%, Hispanic patients rising at 6.44%, and appendiceal tumors increasing at 12.89% per year. On intersection analysis, Black patients between the ages of 70-79 had the highest incidence at 33.39/100,000, while younger ( 〈 50 years) Hispanic patients had the largest increase at 6.22% per year. Conclusions: The incidence of neuroendocrine tumors has increased over our study period. The highest incidence was found in older Non-Hispanic Black patients, with younger Hispanic patients having the highest annual percent increase. Further studies are warranted to better characterize the reasons for these trends and disparities amongst minority patients affected by these tumors.
