  1. 1. Midgut Carcinoid Tumours : New Diagnostic Procedures and Treatment

    Författare :Staffan Welin; Eva T. Janson; Barbro Eriksson; Larry Kvols; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; Midgut carcinoid tumour; Chromogranin A; Carcinoid heart disease; Survival; Octreotide pamoate; Tyrosine kinase receptors; Platelet derived growth factor receptor; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Midgut carcinoid tumours are rare with an incidence of 0.5-2.1/100 000. The primary tumour is usually small and grows slowly but has almost always set metastases at diagnosis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Midgut carcinoid tumours - biochemical and therapeutic aspects

    Författare :Gunnel Westberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carcinoid syndrome; valvular heart disease; 5-HT; chromogranins; octreotide; hepatic arterial embolization;

    Sammanfattning : The biology of human midgut carcinoid tumour was studied experimentally in primary cell culture and clinically in patients with the midgut carcinoid syndrome. In cell cultures, tumour cells had a secretory pattern of 5-HTP, 5-HT and 5-HIAA specific for each tumour indicating individual regulation of synthesis/degradation. LÄS MER

    Författare :Niklas Zar; Per Hellman; Lars Holmberg; Jonas Rastad; Anders Bergenfelz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Surgery; small intestine; adenocarcinoma; carcinoid; epidemiology; survival; second malignancies; causes of death; Crohn s disease; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant tumours of the small intestine are rare. Age-standardised incidence in Europe is between 0.5-1.5 per 100 000. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :Carcinoid; Endocrine pancreatic tumour; Neuroendocrine; Octreotide; Somatostatin receptor; Peptide receptor; Radionuclide therapy; Absorbed dose; Chromogranin A; Liver transplantation;

    Sammanfattning : Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours Background. Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) originate from endocrine cells of the intestinal mucosa and pancreas. LÄS MER
