What Is Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Cancer?

Winning the battle against a life-threatening disease begins with being armed with essential information.

Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors are a type of cancer that forms in the series of hollow tubes called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Carcinoid tumors are most common in the small intestine, appendix, and rectum, all of which are part of the large intestine.

GI carcinoid tumors are the most common type of neuroendocrine tumor (NET), meaning they are made up of neuroendocrine cells. These cells are essentially similar to a combination of nerve cells and cells that produce hormones. The human body has plenty of neuroendocrine cells in the GI tract to help break down food for proper digestion. When these cells proliferate at an uncontrollable rate, a tumor forms and creates an excess of hormones the body does not need. This may lead to serious health problems, such as heart failure, flushing, and diarrhea.

Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Cancer Symptoms

GI carcinoid tumors often grow slowly and may not have signs and symptoms for a long time. When a person experiences symptoms, it is because of the tumor size or the hormones it makes. Signs of gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors include:

  • Stomach pain
  • Sudden changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation
  • Rectal bleeding and pain
  • Blood in stool
  • Redness or a warm feeling in the face and neck (skin flushing)
  • Throwing up or upset stomach
  • Unintended weight loss
  • Unexplainable and increased fatigue

If you have persistent symptoms, seek medical attention to find their root cause.

Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Cancer Causes

The exact cause of cell mutation in the GI tract is unknown. However, there are known risk factors for gastrointestinal carcinoid cancer, including:

If you have risk factors, discuss them and prevention with your physician.

Tests for Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Cancer

Early detection is key to improving a gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor prognosis. The following procedures help confirm a diagnosis:

    • Barium x-ray
    • Computed tomography (CT) scan
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
    • Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
  • Endoscopy
  • Biopsy (sample tissue removal)
