CARCINOIDSYMPTOMSSimple Summary: Lung carcinoids are divided into typical and atypical. Most tumors are slow-growing yet have malignant potential, which is more common in patients harboring atypical carcinoids. A large proportion of these patients are diagnosed incidentally on chest X-ray ...
A series is presented comprising 23 patients with lung carcinoids treated during the period 1956-71. Eighteen of the carcinoids showed invasive growth and six had metastases. The average history of the patients was 3 to 6 months. The diagnosis was established preoperatively in 13 cases. It ...

A twenty-five-year follow-up of ninety-three resected typical carcinoid tumors of the lung From 1965 to 1990, 93 patients (57 women and 36 men) with typical bronchopulmonary carcinoids were operated upon. Patient ages ranged from 17 to 78 years, the mean age being 45.5 years. Central carci...
Metastatic Lung Carcinoid Tumors: Evidence of Proliferation Rate Progression at Metastatic Sites Radiomics has traditionally focused on individual tumors, often neglecting the integration of metastatic disease, particularly in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. This study sought to examine intra-patie...

In the neuroendocrine tumors, an increasing proportion of tumors stained for p63 as tumor grade increased; 1.9% of classic carcinoids, 30.8% of atypical carcinoids, 50% of large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas, and 76.9% of small cell carcinomas were positive. Approximately half of the positively...
(88 months and not reached for stage I and II, respectively, vs 80 months for advanced stage, p-value 0.02), in patients with carcinoid compared to other lung cancer histotypes (88 months for carcinoids vs 77 vs 76 vs 57 for Adk, Sqc and “other” histotypes respectively, p-value ...
1B). Although the dimension of the nodule remained essentially unchanged, the attenuation of the mixed GGO increased remarkably during this 9-month follow-up interval. No surgical intervention was performed at this time since there was no direct evidence regarding cancer probability in such a small...
