What is Carcinoid Tumors?
A group of symptoms that occur when a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) releases hormones into the bloodstream. Symptoms include diarrhea and facial flushing. These tumors can be cancerous or non-cancerous, and most develop in the gastrointestinal tract, though they can also be found in other organs.
Treatment of Carcinoid Tumors
Treatment includes addressing the tumor itself through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Additionally, medications can slow down hormone production responsible for some symptoms. Meanwhile, simple steps like using cool towels on the face and avoiding alcohol can alleviate hot flash symptoms.
