Carcinoid tumors are rare slow
growing tumors that occur in the
gastrointestinal tract. They are
usually easily cured especially if
caught early enough when the disease
is still in the digestive tract.
They usually appear in the
gastrointestinal tract or in some
rare cases can occur outside - such
as in the lung.
Symptoms - There may be pain in the
abdominal area associated with
blockage. Other symptoms observed
may be diarrhoea, wheezing (when
occurring in the lungs - referred to
as bronchoconstriction) as well as
flushing of the skin around the neck
and face area.
Diagnosis - A doctor may ask for
blood and urine tests to detect the
presence of cancer. Imaging
techniques can be used to further
detect the cancer.
Treatment - As with most other
cancers - depending on the stage of
the disease, location and other
factors, your doctor may prescribe:
radiation therapy, surgery,
chemotherapy or biological therapy
(using the body's own immune
system).
