About this trial
This observational, retrospective study aims to understand the treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with pulmonary and extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Peru). The research will collect data from medical records to analyze factors like patient demographics, diagnosis methods, tumor characteristics, treatment approaches, and disease progression. The study is non-interventional, meaning patient care will follow standard clinical practice, with data gathered via an electronic system.
