Overall 5 year survival rate was 66%, and for those with metastases was 0%. The poorer survival rates are probably related to the socioeconomic status of our patient population. The only observed racial difference compared to other series is the preponderance of males, and the disproportionately...
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.
If the tumor can be surgically removed and has not spread outside of the organ where it started, the 5-year relative survival rate for gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors is in the range of 70% to 90%. The next most common site for the development of carcinoid tumors is in the lungs. ...
started, the 5-year relative survival rate for gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors is in the range of 70% to 90%. The next most common site for the development of carcinoid tumors is in the lungs. Approximately 3,000 new cases of lung carcinoid tumors are diagnosed in the United States each ...
Five-year relative survival rates ranged from 99% (appendix) to 33% (sigmoid colon). Survival for colon cases was not so low as expected on the basis of the high rate of metastasis. Some appendiceal carcinoids were metastatic and may have killed 1 patient. Findings are compared with other...
In patients with carcinoid tumors in the absence of metastatic disease the 5 year survival rate is very high at 97%, much higher than in other pulmonary tumors such as non-small lung cancer (35-37). In our study there were no recurrences or metastasis while paraneoplastic syndrome disappeared...
4 Tom P. van der Laan et al showed that the 5-year survival rate of patients treated with radiotherapy alone was approximately 8% lower than that of patients treated with surgery. However, in a retrospective study, Ferlito A et al still suggested adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.5 For ...
Marital status is a known prognostic factor in overall and disease-specific survival in several types of cancer. The impact of marital status on survival in patients with carcinoid tumors remains unknown. We hypothesized that married patients have higher rates of survival than similar unmarried patient...
The majority of the tumors are perihilar in location. Atypical carcinoids have an aggressive clinical course, metastazing to mediastinal lymph nodes, in 30 to 50% of cases. The five year survival rate is between 40 and 60%.年份: 2006 ...
In summary PTCT has a good prognosis with the 5-year overall survival rate of 78.7% and the 5-year specific survival rate of 84.3% and should be alternatively considered in Cdx-2 positive metastatic tumor of unknown origin [19]. Conclusion Primary testicular carcinoid tumor with Cdx-2 ...
