Overall age-standardized incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasms is lower in China than in United States.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare characterized by variable biology and delayed diagnosis. Researchers from China have now found disparities in the burden of NENs across sex, age, area, and locations in China and United States. These findings can guide prevention and control strategies in the two countries.
