Second primary malignancies in patients with a neuroendocrine neoplasm in England

Conclusion This study found that patients with a NEN experienced a metachronous tumour of the lung, prostate, kidney, colon and thyroid at a higher rate than the general population of England. Surveillance and engagement in existing scree ning programmes is required to enable earlier diagnosis of second non-NEN tumours in these patients.
