Carcinoids and the carcinoid syndrome

The American Journal of Surgery, 1983
The many manifestations of carcinoids will continue to puzzle and intrigue surgeons. Because these are dynamic tumors which produce multiple hormones with many potential side effects, an aggressive surgical debulking of them is advocated. Even in the presence of metastatic disease, some long-term survival can be anticipated.

Carcinoid syndrome

Pediatric Surgery International, 1996
The authors report a rate case of carcinoid syndrome (CS) in a 12-year-old child that was caused by a carcinoid tumor located in the ileum that had metastasized mainly to the liver. After resection of the primary tumor, treatment with octreotide and polychemotherapy (five monthly cycles of 5-flourouracil, epidoxorubicin, and deticene) was ineffective ...

CARCINOID TUMORS AND THE CARCINOID SYNDROME

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1969
AbstractData are presented on 10 cases of carcinoid tumor; 8 of the tumors were in the gastrointestinal tract and 2 in the lung. Two cases were associated with carcinoid syndrome (flushing attacks, diarrhea, bronchospasm); in one of these with marked symptoms, the 24‐hour excretion of 5 hydroxy indole acetic acid reached 107 mg.On the basis of these ...

Management of carcinoid syndrome [PDF]

Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1979
AbstractTwo patients who had severe carcinoid syndrome are presented. In one patient prednisone relieved symptoms for 20 months, and in the second patient chemotherapy appears to have precipitated fatal carcinoid crisis. Changes in mentation, increased frequency and intensity of flushing, and hypotension indicate increased risk of a chemotherapy ...

The Carcinoid Syndrome

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
The carcinoid syndrome is an endocrine manifestation of neoplastic enterochromaffin cells. The humoral consequences of enterochromaffin carcinoid tumors include cutaneous flushing, diarrhea, valvular lesions of the right side of the heart, bronchoconstriction, and facial telangiectasia. Because these malignant tumors grow at a relatively slow rate, the
