Disease relevance of Carcinoid Tumor

 

Psychiatry related information on Carcinoid Tumor

  • Neurokinin A in carcinoid tumours has an N-terminal heterogeneity; this multiplicity constitutes a further support for the hypothesis that carcinoid tumours produce a number of tachykinins which may be present in different relative amounts in individual patients and may contribute to the individual differences in symptomatology [6].
  • Total 5HTOL levels in control samples ranged between 98-301 nM, in samples collected following ingestion of bananas, a food rich in serotonin, between 450-3292 nM, following alcohol consumption between 863-13326 nM, and in samples obtained from patients with serotonin producing carcinoid tumors between 1695-3793 nM [7].
  • In two inpatients admitted for a medical evaluation for pheochromocytoma and carcinoid syndrome, respectively, a positive response to the double-blind administration of CO2/O2 or room air was consistent with a diagnosis of panic disorder by psychiatric history [8].

Gene context of Carcinoid Tumor

  • Dexamethasone (Dex) decreased plasma ACTH levels in all patients with Cushing's disease and in three patients with ectopic ACTH-producing bronchial carcinoid [15].
  • In a carcinoid, SSTR1 and SSTR4 mRNAs were detected [4].
  • In patients with the carcinoid syndrome, SMS 201-995 effectively reduces diarrhea, is the best available drug for treatment of carcinoid flush (effective in approximately 90% of cases), and is useful in treating carcinoid crisis [28].
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) is an inherited syndrome that results in parathyroid, anterior pituitary, and pancreatic and duodenal endocrine tumors as well as foregut carcinoids in affected patients [29].
  • In this report, 22 midgut carcinoids and 5 endocrine pancreatic tumors were examined for the presence of PDGF with a monoclonal antibody raised against a peptide corresponding to a part of the B-chain of PDGF which reacts strongly with the B-chain and weakly with the A-chain [30].
  • CgA is highly expressed in microdissected cells from carcinoid metastases, whereas it is not expressed in normal hepatocytes [31].
  • The analysis showed that 45.8% of typical carcinoid and 28.6% of atypical carcinoid tumors express EGFR, 100% of the tumors lack expression of ErbB2, and 100% have moderate to intense staining for ErbB3 and ErbB4 [32].
