ABSTRACT
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) can originate diffusely in most organs, with varying clinical presentations. The relative rarity of these tumors, previously referred to as carcinoids, encouraged several centers worldwide to study NET. Since 2003, a similar group was established in , the GETNE - Grupo de Estudo de Tumores Neuroendocrinos (Neuroendocrine Tumors Study Group) that included 32 centers, from all regions of Brasil. A patient database was initiated, collecting information about NET, regardless of the site of origin.

OBJECTIVES:

The present study shows initial results of 1000 patients included.

METHODS:

Descriptive statistical analyses, as well as overall survival rates for different groups of NET patients registered by GETNE.

RESULTS:

Most patients presented with thoracic NET (71.6 percent), while 20.2 percent had gastro-entero-pancreatic tumors. Median follow-up of all patients included was 33.7 months (range 1-141 months). At the time of the analysis, 29.3 percent of the patients were still alive (of these, 45.7 percent were alive with no evidence of disease).

CONCLUSION:

This is the largest database of NET in, and further accrual of new patients, as well as individual study results are expected in the near future.
RESUMO
Os tumores neuroendócrinos (TNE) podem se originar da maioria dos órgãos com apresentação clínica variável. A relativa raridade destes tumores, previamente classificados como carcinóides, levou vários centros no mundo a realizar estudos específicos dos TNE. A partir de 2003, um grupo similar foi criado no , GETNE- Grupo de Estudo de Tumores Neuroendocrinos, que incluiu 32 centros médicos de várias regiões do Brasil. Um arquivo de pacientes foi criado, registrando informações individuais sobre TNE, independente do órgão de origem.

OBJETIVOS:

O presente estudo apresenta os resultados dos primeiros 1000 pacientes incluídos.

MÉTODOS:

Análise estatística descritiva, assim como análises de sobrevida global dos pacientes registrados no GETNE.

RESULTADOS:

A maioria dos pacientes foi admitida com TNE torácicos (71,6 por cento), enquanto 20,2 por cento tiveram TNE gastro-entero-pacnreáticos. O seguimento mediano foi de 33,7 meses (variando entre 1-141 meses). Ao término desta análise, 29,3 por cento dos pacientes ainda estavam vivos (destes, 45,7 por cento vivos sem evidência de doença).

CONCLUSÃO:

Este representa o maior arquivo de TNE no , e a inclusão de novos pacientes, assim como estudos específicos, são esperados no futuro próximo.
