Second Primary Malignancies in Patients with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: A Population-Based Study on Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis.
2021
Background This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs) among patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) and the prognosis of pNENs patients with SPMs (pSPMs) using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods Data from patients diagnosed with pNENs between 1988 and 2016 were extracted. A case-control study was conducted to investigate the risk factors of developing SPMs among patients with pNENs. Meanwhile, cox regression analysis was also conducted to obtain the independent prognostic factors in pSPMs. Results Of 7,630 patients with pNENs, 326 developed SPMs. Patients with pNENs who had not undergone surgery and had been diagnosed in recent periods had a higher risk of developing SPMs. The following independent prognostic predictors for pSPMs were identified: age, latency period, SEER stage, radiotherapy, and surgery. Conclusions These findings may improve the surveillance of risk factors for developing SPMs in patients with pNENs and the prognostic risk factors in pSPMs.
