Introduction: Patients with neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) may experience psychological distress related to secretory effects of the tumour. 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) is a metabolite of serotonin, the most important secretory product in carcinoid syndrome. This study aims to determine if urine 5-HIAA levels correlate with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with NEN.Methods: A retrospective single-centre cohort study was conducte...

Introduction: Previously published UK Cancer Registry data showed incidence of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms rising between 2001 and 2015. This was higher than had been thought (Genus et al.). We report more recent data with more accurate coding (ICD-O-3).Aim: To analyse National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) data on Neuroendocrine Neoplasias (NENs) in England including years 2015–2017.Methods: Public He...

Introduction: Incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) is rising worldwide. The National Cancer Registry and Analysis Service allows accurate study of NEN in England. Aim: Calculate incidence and prevalence of NEN in England from 1995-2018. Calculate site-specific survival with multivariate analysis. Method: A population-based retrospective cohort study was performed. Data requested from NCRAS were reviewed by a steering group r...

Introduction: Sex differences have been noted at different sites of Neuroendocrine Neoplasia in previous registry studies across different countries. Analysis of National Cancer Registry and Analysis Service (NCRAS) data can help to clarify the significance and importance of this factor in England. Aim: To examine neuroendocrine neoplasia incidence and survival by sex, site and stage. Method: A population-based, cohort study was pe...
