#November is #CarcinoidCancer Awareness Month: Understanding Carcinoid Cancer and Its Symptoms

Carcinoid cancer is a rare type of #neuroendocrine #tumor (NET) that develops in the cells of the neuroendocrine system. These tumors most commonly occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the stomach, small intestine, and rectum, but can also develop in the lungs or other parts of the body. #Earlydetection is key to effective treatment and improved outcomes.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Carcinoid Cancer?

The symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor but may include:

Abdominal Pain or Cramping: Persistent discomfort in the stomach area.

Flushing of the Skin: Sudden redness or warmth, particularly in the face and neck.

Diarrhea: Frequent loose stools, often unexplained.

Wheezing or Shortness of Breath: Particularly for carcinoid tumors in the lungs.

Heart Palpitations: Irregular or rapid heartbeat.

Unexplained Weight Loss: Significant weight loss without any clear reason.

Fatigue: A constant feeling of tiredness or weakness.

Carcinoid tumors can also cause carcinoid syndrome, a set of symptoms triggered by hormone secretion from the tumors, including flushing, diarrhea, and heart issues.

If you or a loved one experiences these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional immediately for diagnosis and care.

Let’s use this month to spread #awareness about #carcinoidcancer, its signs, and the importance of early detection to improve lives.
