Bowel carcinoid
Carcinoids are slow growing neuroendocrine tumors which can grow without causing symptoms for years. The small bowel is the most common location within the gastrointestinal tract for carcinoid tumor to develop (40%) although they can develop anywhere within the gastrointestinal tract. Metastasis rates increase with an increase in tumor size.Please note that the bowel is best assessed by endoscopy, as the Prenuvo scan will identify conditions late in the disease process.
