The response to therapy and prevalence of cirrhosis at presentation are the same as in patients who present with more insidious onset. [nature.com]

• Weight Loss

  The diarrhea may also be chronic and weight loss can occur. A specific type of heart valve damage can occur in some cases as well as other cardiac disturbances. All of these features constitute the Carcinoid Syndrome. [carcinoid.org]

• Regurgitation

  Coronary, systemic and pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, peripheral pulmonary stenosis and ventricular septal defect with aortic regurgitation and collateral vessels must be differentiated from PAD on echocardiogram. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tachycardia

  Tachycardia, exertional dyspnoea, laboured breathing, fatigue or poor growth are common. Large shunts may lead to failure to thrive, recurrent infection of the upper respiratory tract and congestive heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  An electrocardiogram was done, which showed sinus tachycardia with some premature ventricular complexes and prolonged QT interval (QTc 472). She was then evaluated by cardiologists and nutritional teams. [karger.com]

  Acute cholecystitis Acute cholecystitis presents with severe pain associated with a raised temperature, tachycardia, tenderness in the right upper quadrant (especially on inspiration) and occasionally, positive blood cultures. [racgp.org.au]

• Enlargement of the Liver

  In some cases they cause obscure intestinal bleeding or sometimes don’t declare themselves until they cause painful enlargement of the liver due to large deposits of carcinoid metastases that have spread to that organ. [carcinoid.org]

When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. [cancer.gov]

There are abundant treatments for carcinoid tumors and syndrome though choice of treatment and their applications can be quite complex. [carcinoid.org]

One study successfully used TAE alone for the treatment of cavernous hepatic hemangioma [ 25 ]. Therefore, we hypothesized that TAE can be used as the sole treatment for giant hepatic hemangiomas. [journals.plos.org]

Liver transplantation, evaluation of the therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma, trauma, and post-treatment complications are also addressed. [books.google.de]

Asymptomatic patients with a small duct have a normal vital prognosis but have a lifetime risk of endocarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis is generally considered excellent in patients in whom the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the only problem. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Invasive mediastinal tumors have a very poor prognosis, but this tumor located in mediastinum is very rare, so unfortunely aren’t many data about it, and estimated survival for this patient. [romanianjournalcardiology.ro]

Rather, its role is to characterise the tumour and, in particular, to differentiate pancreatic NFET from ductal adenocarcinoma, as in comparison, malignant NFETs have a more favourable prognosis (5-year survival rate 40% compared with 3%–5% for adenocarcinoma [it.glosbe.com]
