Carcinoid tumors: These tumors make serotonin or its precursor, 5-HTP, and may causecarcinoid syndromewith symptoms of flushing of the skin, diarrhea, wheezing, and a rapidheartrate that occurs episodically; eventually, aheart murmur, shortness of breath, and weakness develop due to damage to t...
BACKGROUND: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (aNET) are a common entity in routine medical care, with a rate per appendectomy as high as 0.3-0.9 %. Considering the relatively young age at diagnosis for these patients, exact information about the long-term prognosis of aNET is required. Survival...
Upper lobe carcinoid in males with distant spread had the least survival rate. Surgery definitely increases 5yr relative survival rates.Staging is the strongest predictor of survival. Upper lobe carcinoids in males has least survival. Surgery remains the main stay of treatment for BP carcinoids....
The lung also is a very common site for metastasis from malignant tumors in other parts of the body. The same types of cells as the original (primary) tumor make up tumor metastases. For example, if prostate cancer spreads via the bloodstream to the lungs, it is metastatic prostate cancer...

Survival analysis by primary tumor site, age, sex, race, tumor size, lymph node, tumor grade, surgery and year of diagnosis for MACs in different stages. (A–H) Left, localized MACs; Middle, regional MACs; Right, distant MACs. (A) Cancer-specific survival analysis by primary tumor site....
The OS rate for all NETs improved from the 2000-2004 period to the 2009-2012 period (hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.85). Even larger increases in OS between these periods were noted in distant-stage gastrointestinal NETs (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.62-0.81) and distant-stage ...
“In patients with oncologic progression and carcinoid syndrome, the priority for me is in controlling the oncologic progression,” Yao said. “In many cases, the control of the oncologic aspect and controlling the tumor also help with disease progression and with the symptom issue.” RADIANT-4 ...
Marital status was found to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in various cancer types. In this study, we used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database to analyze the survival difference among different marital status in the United States. Gastric adenocarcinoma patients ...
Squamous cell carcinoma(an NSCLC) is the second most common type of lung cancer, making up about 30% of all cases. Large cell cancer (another NSCLC) makes up 10% of all cases. SCLC makes up 20% of all cases. Carcinoid tumors account for 1% of all cases. ...
