Palliative management strategies of advanced gastrointestinal carcinoid neoplasms.
2005
Background/aims
Optimal management of gastrointestinal carcinoid neoplasms that metastasize to the liver is controversial. Although operative resection seems to be the most effective approach to metastatic disease, hepatic metastases are usually multicentric and often non-resectable. We investigated the effectiveness of several forms of palliative tumor cytoreduction followed by administration of somatostatin analogues in advanced carcinoid neoplasms.
