• Diarrhea

  Even if modified Sambaek-tang showed partial effect on frequency of diarrhea, we concluded that it was not sufficient to be a therapeutic method of the diarrhea as carcinoid symptom. [dbpia.co.kr]

  This may be counterintuitive as the body loses bicarbonate during diarrhea, but if the diarrhea is chronic there are other mechanisms in the body. [lecturio.com]

  Diarrhea. The diarrhea of carcinoid syndrome does not necessarily correlate with flushing. Diarrhea appears to be related to increased gut motility, rather than to secretion of fluids. [aboutcancer.com]

  Potential causes of flushing in carcinoid syndrome include bradykinins, prostaglandins, tachykinins, substance P, and/or histamine, diarrhea, and heart problems. [en.wikipedia.org]

  The diarrhea may be so severe that vital nutrients of the body, such as potassium and water, are depleted creating life-threatening electrolyte imbalance. [rarediseases.org]

• Chronic Diarrhea

  This may be counterintuitive as the body loses bicarbonate during diarrhea, but if the diarrhea is chronic there are other mechanisms in the body. [lecturio.com]

  For example, carcinoid tumors in the rectum and colon are incidentally found during colonoscopy performed for colon cancer screening, for iron deficiency anemia, or for chronic diarrhea. [medicinenet.com]

  The occurrence of episodic facial flushing and/or chronic diarrhea not diagnosed by standard tests as being a result of more common causes should lead to suspicion of carcinoid syndrome. [rarediseases.org]

  The vaginal examination revealed first degree cervical descent, a retroverted uterus and a left adnexal mass. A clinical diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma was kept and hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. [ccij-online.org]

  About 6–7% of all adnexal masses found during physical examination are actually metastatic ovarian tumors, frequently unsuspected by gynecologists. 2 – 4 The metastasis often masquerades as a primary ovarian tumor and may even be the initial manifestation [clinicalgate.com]

• Ovarian Mass

  Per operatively 15x10 cms left ovarian solid to cystic mass with single septation was present. Final histopathology report of ovarian mass shows tumor present in form of nests, trabeculae and ribbons. [article.sapub.org]

  During her examination, a mobile cystic mass was detected in the right lower abdomen. Ultrasound indicated a right ovarian mass 10.5 × 6.3 cm, confirmed by CT scan. Further investigation revealed AFP levels (1539 ng/mL). [scienceopen.com]

  Histological analysis showed that the right ovarian mass contained stromal carcinoid tumor in a mature cystic teratoma. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  Intra-operatively, there was a left ovarian mass 8 cm × 7 cm, solid, nodular, with bosselated surface, no papillary excrescences and an intact capsule. Rest all organs were normal and lymph nodes were not palpable. [indianjcancer.com]

  Similarly, the right ovary showed a cystic mass filled with sebum and hairs, measuring 6.5 × 5.0 × 4.0 cm. Frozen sections of the left ovarian mass were made. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]

Clinical trials can test the effectiveness of promising new treatments or new ways of combining cancer treatments. Always discuss treatment options with your doctor. [cancervic.org.au]

Treatment Surgery is often used as the first treatment for carcinoid tumors. If the tumor hasn’t spread, surgery can cure the cancer. Surgery may also be combined with other treatments to reduce the tumor and the symptoms. [stopcancerfund.org]

Omeprazole treatment was therefore discontinued three weeks before control laboratory tests, and chromogranin A levels normalized (63.3 and 37 ng/mL; No.: 19.4–98.1). [elsevier.es]

Prognosis The prognosis varies, depending on the location of the tumor and whether or not the tumor has metastasized. If the tumor is caught early, it can be surgically removed and cured. [lahey.org]

Prognosis depends on site. [patient.info]

My onocolgist says it is a much better prognosis than if it was a typical ovarian cancer, but at the same time he says I don't want to hear my name in the same sentence with the word cancer. [csn.cancer.org]

In general, ovarian carcinoid tumors are slow growing, and have a good prognosis, but some cases of metastasis or recurrence have been reported. Therefore, these borderline tumors require careful evaluation [jstage.jst.go.jp]
