Four centers in Brazil were enrolled in a multicentric surveillance study, performed to standardize the data on Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumors.An Excel file with several characteristics of the tumors, including size, location in the stomach (U, M, L) and metastasis, Cromogranin and Sinaptofisin test, and patient's identification data was distributed to the main centers for gastric cancer treatment in Brazil.We were able to collect data on 64 cases from only 4 of the main centers.These data allowed us to determine that the most frequent location of the tumor in the stomach was the upper part (64%) and showed a significant prevalence of the female gender, considering the analyzed group (75%) as shown in the graphs.These results were statistically significant.
