Overview
The annual incidence of VIPoma is approximately 0.01 per 100,000 (approx. 1 in 10 million) individuals worldwide per year. Women are more commonly affected with VIPoma than men. The incidence of VIPoma increases with age, the median age at diagnosis is 50 years.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of VIPoma is approximately 0.01 per 100,000 (approx. 1 in 10 million) individuals worldwide .[1]
Gender
- Female are more commonly affected by VIPoma than male. The female to male ratio is approximately 3 to 1 in adults. [1]
Age
- The incidence of VIPoma increases with age, the median age at diagnosis in adult is 50 years.[1][2][3]
- VIPoma in children is usually diagnosed between age 2 to 4.
- VIPoma in children though uncommon, are usually ganglioneuroma and ganglioneuroblastoma arising from neural crest tissue of sympathetic ganglia or adrenal medulla.
