What is the rate of survival for carcinoid syndrome?

Years: It is almost always in years, depending on the extent of disease. It is a wide range, anywhere from a year and a half to 12-15 years.

Depends: Carcinoid syndrome can range from manageble with somatostatin receptor targeting medication to unmanageble and leading to consequences like malnutrition, cardiac valvular disease, or issues with blood pressure disregulation. If a patient is manifesting carcinoid syndrome symptoms, a better understanding of the extent of disease and treatment options is important.
