Introduction: GEP-NETs are rare and heterogeneous neoplasms. Its prognosis depends on the histological grade as well as the extent of the tumour.

Material and Methods: We present a retrospective descriptive study based on patients diagnosed of GEP-NET and treated in a multidisciplinary unit in the last 10 years. Demographic data, location, tumour grade, metastases, treatment and survival were collected.

Results: From january 2014 to December 2024, 134 patients were diagnosed of GEP-NET. The annual incidence was 6.47 cases per 100,000 population and the adjusted prevalence was 0.052%. The mean age at diagnosis was 58+15 years, 51% were men and 49 % women. The most common origin was the pancreas (52%), followed by the jejunum-ileum (23%). At diagnosis 24% had distant metastases, most often located in the liver (44 %), peritoneum (25%) or multiple organs (22%). Most of them were sporadic and non-functional. Only 27 tumors were functional, most common insulinomas (11) and 10 had an inherited syndrome (9 MEN1 and 1 NF1). 66 % of patients underwent surgery for the primary tumour. The histological grade was G1 73%, G2 22% and G3 5%. 47 patients had tumour persistence and received somatostatin analogues (47), liver-directed therapy (11), systemic treatments such as everolimus (20), sunitinib (5), chemotherapy (7) and lutetium (12). During the follow up 26% of patients died. 74% were alive at the time of the last visit. The mean survival after diagnosing was 6 + 5 years (median 5 years). At last visit 44% of patients had complete remission 2.4% partial response, 30.5% stable disease and 23% progression.

Conclusions: The incidence of GEP-NETs is higher than previous reports probably related to greater diagnostic resources. GEP-NETs have a relatively long survival even in those with metastases. Early diagnosis and multimodal treatment improve survival.
