Carcinoid syndrome is caused by secretion of certain harmful chemicals by carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid syndrome may occur due to infection or other related diseases, and medical or surgical treatments such as anesthesia, chemotherapy, embolization, and tumor debulking. The key symptoms of the syndrome include flushing of the skin and diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, and bronchoconstriction. If remained undiagnosed, it could lead to several complications such as weight loss, electrolyte imbalance, dehydrations, menopause, irritable bowel disease, and asthma. For instance, in 2009, a study by Journal of Clinical Oncology, showed 4 to 5 out of every 100,000 people are diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor and over 100,000 people suffering from neuroendocrine tumor in the U.S., also most individual suffering from carcinoid are asymptomatic until the tumor is fully developed. To overcome the carcinoid crisis, treatment options may considered such as surgery, chemotherapy, targeted radionuclide therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and chemoembolization on the basis of patient-by-patient. Carcinoid syndrome being a rare condition, there are very few if any treatment options available. This in turn, creates a highly lucrative opportunities for market players.
