Summary The carcinoid syndrome develops in patients with metastatic disease from a serotonin-producing endocrine tumor in the small intestine. It includes facial flushing, diarrhea, right-sided heart failure because of valvular disease, and bronchial constriction. The diagnostic work-up includesimaging, ...
Read about carcinoid tumor treatment, symptoms, and meaning. Carcinoid tumors in the lungs or gut often have no symptoms, however, they may cause carcinoid syndrome. Learn the symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of carcinoid tumors.
Telotristat etiprate has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug designation from the US Food and Drug Administration. The drug was tested in a pivotal phase 3 trial, known as TELESTAR. The trial was conducted in 135 patients with carcinoid syndrome that was not adequately controlled on treatment wi...
Neuroendocrine tumors secrete amines, polypeptides, and prostaglandins, particularly serotonin, which may cause carcinoid syndrome. The type of peptides produced by NETs is strongly correlated with the clinical characteristics of carcinoid disease. The most common organs and systems affected are the skin,...

Carcinoid Syndrome and Tumor in Cats Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow growing tumors that are formed by the endocrine cells in the mucosal lining of organs, such as the stomach and intestine. These tumors are small neuroendocrine tumors, typically of the gastrointestinal tract, that secrete serotonin...
Gastrointestinal tract carcinoid tumors have a nonspecific clinical presentation, except in the case of the carcinoid syndrome. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for improving survival. Surgically treated patients with carcinoid tumor have an overall favorable83% 5-year survival rate. ...
Carcinoid tumors cause excessive production of various bioactive hormones resulting in the carcinoid syndrome and a poor quality of life for patients. The Notch pathway has proven to be tumor suppressive in NE cancer, resulting in a clinical need for therapeutic options to activate Notch. Non...
