Core Tip	In this retrospective study of real-world treatment patterns, somatostatin analogues were the most common initial pharmacologic treatment in patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, and most of the remaining patients began treatment with chemotherapy. However, despite the many treatment options, over half of the patients discontinued treatments after first line and only less than 10% of patients received any second-line pharmacotherapy. Given limitations of claims data to elucidate reasons for this lack of continued treatment, a study using more detailed clinical information such as medical charts or physician surveys is warranted.
