Overview
Initial treatment in patient with VIPoma is prompt replacement of fluid and correction of electrolyte imbalance and acid-base disturbance. Steroids may be used to provide symptomatic relief.[1]
Medical Therapy
- Initial treatment in patient with VIPoma is prompt replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses.
- Sandostatin or chemotherapy must be considered for malignant tumors.
- Steroids may be used to provide symptomatic relief.
- Prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors (e.g., indomethacin), phenothiazines, and lithium combination may be used.
- Long-term octreotide treatment not only controls the diarrhea in the patients with VIPoma but also may cause arrest or regression of the tumor.
