90Y-Edotreotide for Metastatic Carcinoid Refractory to Octreotide
90Y-edotreotide therapy improved symptoms and survival in patients with progressive metastatic carcinoid tumors and carcinoid syndrome refractory to octreotide. Access this article » ...
Activity of Sunitinib in Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors
Sunitinib appears to be more active against pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors than carcinoid tumors. View this article via PubMed » ...
Chromogranin-A and N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide: An Excellent Pair of Biomarkers for Diagnostics in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumor
Increasing NT-proBNP and CgA levels were associated with carcinoid heart disease and also with decreased overall survival. Access this article » ...
Targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Advanced Carcinoid Tumor: a Random Assignment Phase II Study of Depot Octreotide With Bevacizumab and Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b
Bevacizumab can result in tumor responses and altered vascular dynamics in patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors. View this article via PubMed » ...
Tautomycin suppresses growth and neuroendocrine hormone markers in carcinoid cells through activation of the Raf-1 pathway
Journal Content BackgroundCarcinoids are neuroendocrine (NE) tumors with limited treatment options. Raf-1 pathway activation has been shown to suppress hormone production in carcinoid cells. We investigated...
In Brief
Journal Content Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors arising from enterochromaffin (EC) and related cells found in epithelial organs throughout the body. EC cells are the most common endocrine cells...
Primary hepatic carcinoid tumor in children
Journal Content Primary carcinoid tumors of the liver are rare, with fewer than 60 cases currently reported in the English literature. We present the evaluation and management of a solid hepatic tumor...
Carcinoid tumors and small-cell carcinomas of the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts: a comparative study based on 221 cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program
Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder (GB) and extrahepatic biliary ducts (EHBDs) include carcinoid tumors and small-cell carcinomas (SCCs). They are uncommon, and therefore, little is known...
Octreotide (Neuroendocrine)
This Regimen Is Used for:Progressive or malignant carcinoid syndrome therapy Regimen Details Octreotide (long-acting formulation) 20 mg I.M. Repeat every 28 days. References: Rubin J, et al. Octreotide...
What can we learn from the errors in the frozen section diagnosis of pulmonary carcinoid tumors? An evidence-based approach
Journal Content The intraoperative diagnosis of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult. Frozen section diagnosis was requested on 87 neuroendocrine tumors including 58 typical carcinoids, 8...
Laparoscopic antrectomy for the treatment of type I gastric carcinoid tumors.
BACKGROUND: While the optimal treatment for type I gastric carcinoid tumors remains controversial, there is evidence to suggest that in multifocal disease, antrectomy may not only control local disease...
Echocardiographic follow-up of treated patients with carcinoid syndrome.
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare disease, and its prevalence is uncertain. The aim of the present prospective study was to assess the prevalence of carcinoid heart disease using annual echocardiographic...
Patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease.
Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is an uncommon valvular heart disease that may occur in the case of carcinoid syndrome, due to the release of serotonin. Right-sided CHD is more frequent than left-sided CHD...
Surgical management of carcinoid tumors metastatic to the spine: Report of three cases.
BACKGROUND: Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors that most frequently arise from the gastrointestinal tract or the lungs. Common sites of carcinoid metastases include lymph nodes,...
Typical carcinoid tumor arising in the nose and paranasal sinuses--case report.
Carcinoid tumors arise from neuroendocrine cells, many of which are present in the digestive tract and lungs. There have been few reports of carcinoid tumors occurring in the nose and paranasal sinus area,...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection and preoperative assessment with endoscopic ultrasonography for the treatment of rectal carcinoid tumors.
BACKGROUND: Rectal carcinoid tumors 10 mm in diameter or smaller located within the submucosal layer can be cured by local excision including endoscopic treatment. But complete resection of these tumors...
PAX8 Expression in well-differentiated pancreatic endocrine tumors: correlation with clinicopathologic features and comparison with gastrointestinal and pulmonary carcinoid tumors.
PAX (paired box) genes encode a family of transcription factors that regulate organogenesis and cell-lineage specification in multiple organ systems. In the pancreas, PAX proteins play a critical role...
Atypical carcinoid with prominent mucinous stroma: a hitherto unreported variant of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor.
Carcinoid tumors of the lung may show several growth patterns and cell types. We report here a previously undescribed case of primary pulmonary atypical carcinoid with prominent mucinous stroma, an exceedingly...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection or conventional endoscopic mucosal resection is an effective and safe treatment for rectal carcinoid tumors: a retrospective study.
BACKGROUND: Various methods for complete endoscopic resection of rectal carcinoid tumors have been reported. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of endoscopic submucosal...
[Atypical carcinoid of the lung with abnormal elevation of serum ProGRP level; report of a case]
We report a rare case of an atypical carcinoid of the lung with the elevation of serum ProGRP. A 79-year-old female was referred to our hospital presenting with an abnormal shadow by a chest X-ray film....
