Carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors: building on success.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2015
We have come a long way in our understanding and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors since the term "karzinoide" was coined in 1907. Neuroendocrine tumors are a group of biologically and clinically heterogeneous neoplasms that most commonly originate in ...

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2003
Carcinoid tumors secrete many different types of substances (e.g. serotonin, bradykinin) that may produce potentially fatal intraoperative reactions such as hypotension and bronchoconstriction. The most effective treatment for the deleterious cardiovascular and pulmonary effects of serotonin and bradykinin is octreotide, a somatostatin analogue ...

Carcinoid Tumors

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009
Carcinoid tumors, which arise from the enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract, encompass a diverse group of neoplasms. Once thought to be "carcinoma-like," these neoplasms exhibit a biologic behavior that varies from an indolent, benign course to an aggressive, rapidly progressive, and deadly disease.

Carcinoid tumors of the ileum

The American Journal of Surgery, 1983
Thirty patients with carcinoid tumors of the ileum over a recent 10-year period have been analyzed. Seventeen patients were symptomatic and 13 others were found to have tumors incidentally at autopsy or celiotomy. Patients with symptoms almost invariably had metastatic disease, yet preoperative diagnosis was rarely achieved.

Carcinoid tumors of the thymus

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1990
Carcinoid tumors arising in the thymus are rare. Since Rosai and Higa in 1972 distinguished these neoplasms from thymomas, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the world literature. In a 38-year review (1950 to 1988) of surgically treated thymic tumors at Henry Ford Hospital, only 7 cases of thymic carcinoids were identified.

Bronchial Carcinoid Tumors

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
Forty-six patients with bronchial carcinoid tumors were operated on over a 37-year period. The results were reviewed with special reference to presenting complaint, histological diagnosis, location of the tumor, lymphatic involvement, and type of surgical resection. Age at operation ranged from 9 to 86 years (mean, 43.6 years). Presenting symptoms were
