The goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a rare biphasic gastrointestinal tract tumour that consists of a neuroendocrine component and a conventional carcinoma, histologically arising from Paneth cells. [ 1 ]
In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [1] Below is an incomplete list of age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.
This is a list of countries by cancer rate, as measured variously by the number of new cancer cases (frequency), or death rate (mortality), per 100,000 population among countries, and dependencies. Rates of cancer
If the tumor has metastasized (most commonly, to the liver) and is considered incurable, there are some promising treatment modalities, such as the radiopharmaceuticals Lutetium (177 Lu) DOTA-octreotate) and 131I-mIBG (meta iodo benzyl guanidine [9]) for arresting the growth of the tumors and prolonging survival in patients with liver ...
In the United States there has been an increase in the 5-year relative survival rate between people diagnosed with cancer in 1975-1977 (48.9%) and people diagnosed with cancer in 2007-2013 (69.2%); these figures coincide with a 20% decrease in cancer mortality from 1950 to 2014. [8]

Appendix cancer, also known as appendiceal cancer, is a very rare malignant tumor that forms in the vermiform appendix. [7] Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare tumors with malignant potential. [8] Primary lymphomas can occur in the appendix. Breast cancer, colon cancer, and tumors of the female genital tract may metastasize to the appendix ...
In Europe, the five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer is less than 60%. In the developed world about a third of people who get the disease die from it. [20] Survival is directly related to detection and the type of cancer involved, but overall is poor for symptomatic cancers, as they are typically quite advanced.
