Overview
The incidence of gastrinoma, which can cause Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, is approximately 0.05-0.2 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. About 25 to 30 percent of gastrinomas are caused by multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1).
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The worldwide incidence of gastrinomas is about 5 to 30 cases per 100,000 individuals per year. With improved techniques for tumor detection, the annual incidence has increased. About 80% to 90% of these tumors arise in the so-called “gastrinoma triangle". [1]
Age
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population (20-50 years of age).[2]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome than females.[2]
Race
- There is no racial predilection of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
