Overview

The predominant therapy for carcinoid syndrome is surgical resection. Supportive therapy for carcinoid syndrome includes somatostatin analogs,Telotristat,interferons, and radionuclides.

Medical Therapy

Standard treatments for patients with gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors include the following:[1]

Somatostatin Analogs

Adverse effects of somatostatin analog administration include:

Telotristat

Interferons

  • Side-effects includes
  1. Flu-like symptoms
  2. Chronic fatigue
  3. Depression
  4. Anemia
  5. Neutropenia.

Treatment of Hepatic Metastases

The management of hepatic metastases may include:

Radionuclides

Management of Carcinoid-Related Fibrosis

Symptomatic Therapy
