Numbers for these patients were compared with figures recently reported for the country in a Latin American survey of NET treatment 36. That survey reported 150 cases of NET, including 83 gastrointestinal cases, which had been gathered over the 4 years from 2003 to 2006. This suggests an increase in incidence, but with a distribution similar to that reported in our series.
