Overview

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neoplasms derived from neuroendocrine cells found in many organs of the body. They can occur in the lungs, digestive tract, pancreas, reproductive system, and other areas. These tumors often do not cause any symptoms and many times are found incidentally during tests for other conditions. If a carcinoid tumor does cause symptoms, they may include abdominal pain, fatigue, wheezing, cough, skin rashes, and diarrhea. Left untreated, carcinoid tumors can lead to carcinoid syndrome, a serious condition that can cause severe symptoms including bronchoconstriction and rapid heartbeat. While there is no cure for carcinoid tumors, they can be surgically removed or treated with chemotherapy or targeted therapies.
