What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is VIPoma?
Living a full, healthy, and happy life — not just surviving — starts with knowing vital information about your disease and the available treatment options.
A VIPoma is an extremely rare cancer that results from a type of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, which arises from cells that generate hormones. A VIPoma secretes vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a hormone that stimulates the secretion and prevents the absorption of sodium, potassium, chloride, and water within the small intestine. Excessive and unregulated secretion can cause bowel motility and anorexia, ultimately impairing your quality of life. VIPoma tumors are slow-growing, but the majority of them are metastatic (spreads to other areas of the body).
What are the Signs of VIPoma?
Here at New Hope Unlimited, our powerful combination of conventional and alternative cancer treatments aim to reverse the following symptoms of VIPoma:
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Severe dehydration
- Recurrent watery diarrhea
- Redness or flushing of the face
- Low blood potassium (hypokalemia)
- Metabolic acidosis, leading to weight loss
- Chronic fatigue
- A general feeling of ill health (malaise)
How Do Doctors Confirm a Cancer Diagnosis?
Early detection is critical to your VIPoma prognosis and survival rate. A certified diagnostician might perform these tests to produce accurate findings:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Complete blood count (including VP level)
- Stool sample culture test
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
After receiving a VIPoma diagnosis, the next most important step is to plan your treatment.
