This study, assessing treatment patterns over a period of up to 30 years, showed that SSAs, LDT, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and interferon are common treatments for advanced GI NETs. SSAs alone or in combination with other treatments were the most frequent therapy in first and subsequent lines. Patients in this study remained on SSAs long-term, with median treatment duration of 12.8 years in first line. Treatment patterns should be assessed beyond this study's time period, given recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals for additional treatments for GI NET, which will likely be incorporated in the continuum of care of patients.
