Metastatic Carcinoid Tumors and the Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1994Patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors and the malignant carcinoid syndrome have benefited immensely from diagnostic and therapeutic advances during the past decade.

SINCE the early descriptions of the carcinoid syndrome, 1-4 it has been assumed that the associated hyperserotonemia is responsible for the symptoms and development of the cardiac lesions. These lesions, which appear mainly on the right side of the heart, are characterized by subendocardial proliferation of fibrous tissue resulting in thickening of the

Treatment of the carcinoid tumor and the malignant carcinoid syndrome.
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1983Certainly in treatment of the carcinoid tumor surgery has a well-established curative and palliative potential.
