Dataset Information

Appendiceal tumor incidence and an in-depth look at appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasm in a cohort of 8,162 appendectomies: Full dataset.

ABSTRACT: Data describing appendiceal tumor incidence and epidemiology is limited. We collated data from appendectomy pathology reports between 2005 and 2018 in our institution and examined patient epidemiological and appendectomy pathological features [1]. Overall, 8,328 appendectomies were performed at our institution over the pre-specified time period and 8,162 patients had sufficient epidemiological data to be included in the analysis. A total of 153 patients (1.9%) were diagnosed with appendiceal tumors, of which 57 (37.3%) were Appendiceal Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (ANEN), 35 (22.9%) were mucinous cystadenoma and 34 (22.2%) ovarian cancer metastases. We further examined the ANEN cases in order to characterize initial patient and tumor characteristics, to evaluate the performance of further investigations and interventions, and ultimately to study the behavior of these tumors over time.

Project description:IntroductionMixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) is a rare form of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics and survival profile of appendiceal MiNENs, with a view of providing robust clinical features of this rare disease.MethodsPatients were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2016). The prognosis of MiNEN (n = 315) was compared with other histological subtypes including neuroendocrine tumor (NETs) (n = 1734), neuroendocrine carcinoma (NECs) (n = 375), goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) (n = 968), signet ring cell carcinoma (n = 463), mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) (n = 2355), and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMAC) (n = 1187) in the appendix. Age-adjusted incidence was calculated using Joinpoint regression. The Cox proportional hazards model and the Fine-Gray competing risk model were used to perform overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) analyses, respectively.ResultsThe age-adjusted incidence of MiNENs increased from 0.01/100,000 person-years in 2004 to 0.07/100,000 person-years in 2016. The 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS rates for MiNENs were 69.5, 57.4, and 43.7%, respectively, and the corresponding CSM rates were 23.1, 36.4, and 45.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the prognosis of MiNENs was worse than that of NETs, NECs, GCC, and MAC but better than that of NMAC and signet ring cell carcinoma. Tumor extension was the only independent factor influencing the prognosis of MiNENs, but tumor size, grade, and surgical approaches were not. Moreover, when compared with local excision or appendectomy, extensive surgery such as hemicolectomy or colectomy did not prolong the survival of individuals with MiNENs.ConclusionMiNEN is a rare but aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis differing from NENs, GCC and adenocarcinomas. To improve the prognosis of the disease, early diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation are necessary.
