Excerpt

Due to the rarity of some tumors, data are limited to small case series of 10–15 patients seen over a several-decades-long period. As a result, these tumors are often grouped with histologically and/or anatomically similar tumors for staging and prognostic information. One potential solution comes in the form of national databases such as the National Cancer Database (NCDB), which can provide a window into these rare diseases. Our paper used this strength of the NCDB to investigate 872 patients with ampullary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Up to this point, the largest series of patients with ampullary NET was published by Schmocker et al. and included 15 patients from The Johns Hopkins Hospital over an 18-year period.1 …
