Tubular carcinoids of the appendix do not show any metastatic potential. They are not a 'cancer'. Also, most classic/insular carcinoids behave indolently. Carcinoid is most common appendiceal tumour (50-77% of all appendiceal tumours). Any takers for a rewrite? Hovea 13:40, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the ICD-O morphology code for the following reasons:
When I heard about cancer in the appendix I instantly remembered the references that an appendix does nothing for us and that it exists because of evolutionary factors (debatable among some). So anyway wouldn't that mean that if you have cancer in the appendix and it HAS NOT spread (benign state) that it would be easy to deal with an you would just remove the appendix or is this not done? Would this be the only cancer and only cancer treatment associated with a cancer that the treatment would involve just removing the part? I think this is an interesting question but it seems there is very little contribution to this article as compared to much more common and popular cancer types. I though maybe some surgeons help out with Wikipedia articles (and maybe source there own research and information) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 ( talk) 17:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I added a number of items to the further reading section which could be used as references to improve this article. - - MrBill3 ( talk) 14:54, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Please don't add his death here as there is no reliable source available to confirm it. There is a lot of speculation because of its discovery during an appendectomy. -- DHeyward ( talk) 20:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Your claims are incorrect. First, did Stuart Scott himself admit he had appendix cancer? Yes. Men's Health published an article written by Stuart Scott in which he wrote: "When they told me I had cancer—a very rare form called appendiceal cancer—I was shocked." http://www.menshealth.com/health/stuart-scott-cancer?fullpage=true
Second, have any reliable sources reported he died of appendix cancer, confirming the news? Yes.
New York Times: "He learned of his cancer in 2007 while on assignment in Pittsburgh for 'Monday Night Football,' having had an emergency appendectomy. Doctors discovered appendiceal cancer." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/05/sports/stuart-scott-espn-sportscaster-is-dead-at-49.html?_r=0
CBS News: "On Sunday, Scott lost a long battle with appendiceal cancer." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/espn-anchor-stuart-scotts-rare-cancer/
I have updated the article with these sources to report the accurate news he died of appendix cancer.

The chart titled "Appendix neoplasms by incidence and prognosis" seems to make no sense! The percentages given add to well over 100%, and there are multiple red areas and many areas with no numerical value given?
