Is there any relations between my carcinoid tumor and my eds and sle and if i have symptoms can i expect another tumor?thanks

No association: EDS and Lupus are unassociated with carcinoid. The carcinoid syndrome is usually due to endocrinologically active malignant tumors that develop from neuroendocrine cells (mostly in the ileum) and produce serotonin. It can, however, occur from tumors elsewhere in the GI tract (particularly the appendix and rectum), pancreas, bronchi, The primary has to be removed to prevent metastasis.
