title: Epidemiology of carcinoid tumours in central Italy.
abstract: Between 1985 and 1991, 83 carcinoid tumours were diagnosed in the province of Florence where the Tuscany Tumour Registry is active. There were 44 males and 39 females. The age-adjusted incidence was 0.65 cases/100,000 population/year. The most common location was the lung (30.1%), followed by colorectum (25.2%) and small intestine (22.8%). The 5-year observed and relative survival rates were 70.8% and 78.9% respectively. The relative risk of developing multiple primary cancers was 0.79 (CI 95% 0.28-8.33).
