General Information About Carcinoid and Related Neuroendocrine Tumors. This section contains links to websites and full-text and abstract versions of published papers that focus on general information (reviews) of diagnosis, treatment and current research in the field of carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors.Thank you to the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc. (CCF), for giving me permission to link directly to this important consensus report below.Consensus Statements and Guidelines"This consensus report gives a detailed description of the use of somatostatin analogs in the management of neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic system. As background information we have outlined critical aspects of the pathology, the use of tumor markers, a definition of functional and non-functional digestive neuroendocrine tumors, different imaging modalities, surgical considerations, liver embolization and the use of cytotoxic drugs as well as interferon. Included in the report is an overview of somatostatin, somatostatin analogs and its receptor expression in different neuroendocrine tumors. It will also define the binding affinities of different somatostatin analogs to the five different subtypes of somatostatin receptor. We compare the efficacy of octreotide and lanreotide in reducing diarrhea and flushing. Side-effects are described and we provide practical information on somatostatin analog treatment." ********** Since

Yes, there is wireless internet and we have tried that a number of places. But, if I deal with email when we are away from home then it is not a "restful vacation" for me.
