Prevalence and presentation of Cushing and carcinoid syndromes in patients with non-metastatic primary lung neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)

#3239

Introduction: Carcinoid syndrome and Cushing syndrome are rare in non-metastatic lung NETs. In patients with small bowel NETs, carcinoid syndrome is usually associated with metastatic disease. In lung NETs, biologically active substances may be released directly into systemic circulation without inactivation in the liver or lungs.

Aim(s): To evaluate the prevalence and presentation of these syndromes in patients with lung NETs.

Materials and methods: Clinical data collected in patients with surgical resection of pathologically confirmed lung NETs between Jan 2017 to June 2020 at Mayo Clinic.
