Change in incidence, characteristics and management of colorectal neuroendocrine tumours in the Netherlands in the last decade ...
BackgroundNeuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare. However, a rising incidence has been reported over the past decades. For colorectal NETs, this is presumably caused by an increased awareness of colorectal diseases and colonoscopic procedures. This study aims to analyse the change in incidence of colorectal NETs, characteristics and management and evaluate the proportion of colorectal NETs detected in a national colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programme.MethodsHistopathological reports on colorectal well-differentiated NETs detected between 2006 and 2016 were collected from the Dutch patholo...

For colorectal NETs, this is presumably caused by an increased awareness of colorectal diseases and colonoscopic procedures. This study aims to analyse the change in incidence of colorectal NETs, characteristics and management and evaluate the proportion of colorectal NETs detected in a national colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programme.MethodsHistopathological reports on colorectal well-differentiated NETs detected between 2006 and 2016 were collected from the Dutch pathology database (PALGA) containing nationwide histo- and cytopathology reports of all pathology laboratories in the Netherlands.ResultsColorectal NETs were detected in 1055 individuals. Increasing incidence rates were observed from 0.36 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2006 to 0.75 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2011 ( p value ConclusionThe incidence of reported colorectal NETs in the Netherlands doubled over the last decade.
