Carcinoid Tumor, SEER Database Analysis, Stage
Conditions

Stage migration occurs when patients sound to have better survival or increased incidence rates at the early stage at diagnosis due to early detection of the disease. As carcinoid tumors are rare and there are no data supporting stage migration, the aim of this study was to perform comprehensive trends analysis in addition to survival analysis over two decades.
