Section: Possible Risks, Discomforts, and Inconveniences
Subsections: Risks And Benefits

Participating in this study, you do not take any additional risk for yourself because the study does not provide diagnostic-therapeutic items different from clinical practice. Data related to your medical history will be collected in RedCap a web application for building and managing online surveys and databases, specially created and universally accepted for this purpose.

Section: Procedures
Subsections: Description Of The Study

This is an international retrospective/observational prospective study. Centers around the world participating in the study will be asked to report a set of data of patients who have agreed to participate in the study and their illnesses on a specific case report form. Information on the patient's age, gender, country of residence, comorbidity, characteristics of cancer disease and concomitant SARS-CoV-2 infection/disease will be recorded.

Section: Purpose of Research
Subsections: Why Do This Study|Study Objective

At the end of December 2019 in China, in the Hubei region, an infection caused by a new coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2, come up. This infection has been associated with interstitial pneumonia which in many cases has resulted in acute respiratory distress syndrome. The epidemic quickly spread around the world and became a pandemic. At the time of the preparation of this study, the World Health Organization reports about 4 million confirmed cases of infection worldwide.  
Patients who are currently on anticancer treatment, particularly those with chest cancers, are potentially at higher risk of contracting the infection and its complications. Having a neuroendocrine cancer falls into this category. However, neuroendocrine cancers are a very heterogeneous group of rare cancers, with a clinical behavior and response to cancer treatments that can be very different between several types. Therefore it is difficult to define an absolute and uniform risk in relation to SARS-CoV-2 for all people who, like you, have neuroendocrine cancer. Further, it is not known whether the SARS-CoV-2 infection or disease (also called coronavirus disease 19 - COVID19) is more or less serious for patients with neuroendocrine cancer than for people who do not have a tumor or those who have a different type of cancer. At the moment, therefore, it is impossible to give an absolute indication to doctors who treat patients with neuroendocrine malignancies in relation to SARS-CoV-2. For this reason, considering the rarity and heterogeneity of neuroendocrine malignancies, only a uniformly structured and worldwide collection of information will be able to give reliable and reproducible data from which to draw guidances for physicians dealing with patients with neuroendocrine cancers.

This study aims to collect information on patients with neuroendocrine cancer with COVID-19 infection through an international registry. This effort is aimed for sharing, across the scientific community, solid and reliable information about the management of patients with neuroendocrine cancer suffering from COVID-19.
