Overview
There are neither evidence based guidelines nor RCTs for follow up of appendix carcinoid tumors. Meanwhile, consensus based effective measures for the secondary prevention of appendix cancer include follow up history and physical examination, tumor marker measurements like CEA, CA 125, CA 19-9, follow up imaging studies, carcinoid tumor markers such serotonin, and specific imaging studies such as octreotide scintigraphy.
Secondary Prevention
Effective measures for the secondary prevention of appendix cancer include:
- Cartcinoid tumors of appendix:
- National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) recommendations are base on the tumor size[1]
