Carcinoid Syndrome Health Center

Carcinoid syndrome occurs when a rare cancerous tumor called a carcinoid tumor, secretes certain chemicals into the bloodstream, causing a variety of symptoms. Carcinoid tumors occur commonly in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs. As carcinoid tumors usually grow slowly, carcinoid syndrome is not experienced until the tumors are quite advanced. A person may discover that they have carcinoid cancer through a test for an unrelated condition or disease.
