Popis: Background: Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a distinct malignancy occurring across the tubular gastrointestinal tract (tGIT). We comprehensively examined the outcomes of patients diagnosed with SRCC across tGIT. Methods: SRCC and not-otherwise-specified adenocarcinoma (NOS) patients reported to the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2015 were included. Baseline characteristics, outcomes and site-specific adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) derived from Cox models of SRCC patients were compared to those of NOS patients. Overall survival (OS) was primary endpoint. Results: A total of 41,686 SRCC (4.6%) and 871,373 NOS patients (95.4%) were included. SRCC patients were younger (63.1 ± 14.7 vs. 67.0 ± 13.4 y, p
