In the subgroup of patients with carcinoid syndrome, the development of carcinoid heart disease (CaHD) severely impacts long term survival. Valve surgery has been demonstrated to improve survival and symptoms in patients with CaHD. We sought to assess the outcomes of surgery for CaHD from a ...

No patient had symptoms consistent with carcinoid syndrome. The rectal carcinoids were a mean 9.2±3.4cm from the anal verge and a mean 9±6mm in size. Endoscopic and/or transanal excision/fulguration techniques treated 11 (79%) patients, whereas two (14%) patients underwent a low anterior ...
Six of the 14 patients were female. Presenting symptoms included a change in bowel habits in six (38%), rectal bleeding in six (38%), and abdominal pain or distention in five (31%) patients. No patient had symptoms consistent with carcinoid syndrome. The rectal carcinoids were a mean ...

Although these tumours run a rather indolent course, the 5-year survival of patients with neuroendocrine tumours and liver metastases is 40% compared with 75–99% in those free of liver metastases [5–7]. Neuroendocrine liver metastases often progress slowly but may cause significant symptoms due...
BACKGROUND Symptoms and survival of patients with carcinoid syndrome have improved, but development of carcinoid heart disease (CaHD) continues to decrease survival.Connolly, Heidi M.Schaff, Hartzell V.Abel, Martin D.Rubin, JosephAskew, J. WellsLi, ZhuoInda, Jacob J.Luis, Sushil A.Nishimura, ...
A 43-year-old female patient was referred for evaluation of Cushing's syndrome. The diagnosis was made 2 months prior, because of the symptoms and elevated serum cortisol and urine free cortisol after a dexamethasone suppression test. Her symptoms improved and results of our laboratory st...
