  • Title: Carcinoid tumors: what should increase our suspicion?
    Author: Aggarwal G, Obideen K, Wehbi M.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2008 Dec; 75(12):849-55. PubMed ID: 19088003.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine neoplasms, primarily of the gastrointestinal tract. Their incidence has been increasing over the last 2 to 3 decades. Patients often present with vague, nonspecific symptoms. Thus, primary care physicians should keep this diagnosis in mind and start appropriate diagnostic testing if they suspect it on a clinical basis. Patients with carcinoid tumors are also at increased risk of developing other malignancies, so close follow-up by their primary care physician is necessary.
