Abstract

Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (aNET) are a common entity in routine medical care, with a rate per appendectomy as high as 0.3-0.9 %. Considering the relatively young age at diagnosis for these patients, exact information about the long-term prognosis of aNET is required. Survival rates vary substantially between 71 and 100 % and are mostly limited to 5 years. This investigation assessed the long-term mortality rates of patients who underwent aNET resections at fifteen hospitals.
