Carcinoid syndrome occurs in about 1 in 10 people with carcinoid tumors, usually after the tumor has spread to the liver or lung. These tumors release too much of the hormone serotonin, as well as several other chemicals that cause the blood vessels to open (dilate). This causes carcinoid syndrome.
Causes of Carcinoid Syndrome. Carcinoid syndrome occurs when you have a carcinoid tumor that is secreting chemicalsâsuch as serotoninâinto your bloodstream. The chemicals cause your blood vessels to dilate, or open up. Most carcinoid tumors do not secrete chemicals that cause this condition. If a carcinoid tumor does secrete chemicals, the liver often neutralizes them before they can spread through your body. Typically, carcinoid syndrome is a sign that your cancer has spread to your liver or lungs. According to the National Cancer Institute, 58 to 64 percent of people with carcinoid tumors of the small intestine already have metastatic disease in the lymph nodes or liver. (NCI). The cause of these tumors is unknown. However, carcinoid tumors are most likely to form in your gastrointestinal tractâwhich includes your appendix, stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectumâor in your lungs.
