YEAR 2004
Carcinoid Conference 2004 (video recording)
In New Orleans, LA
September 23-24, 2004
This conference was designed to make patients with this rare disease aware of the most recent medical
information concerning the diagnosis and management of their tumors. The fourteen speakers included
the world experts on carcinoid and carcinoid syndrome. These individuals presented the latest,
often unpublished, updates on these tumors.
“This conference represents the cutting edge of medical information dispersal.
Getting life saving information to patients with this exceedingly rare disease allows the
patient to educate their local doctors rather than the usual paradigm in which physicians
are the ones with the knowledge.” - Dr. Eugene Woltering of LSUHSC

Carcinoid Case Presentation and Discussion – The American Perspective
Dr. Richard R P Warner
Department of Medicine, Gastrointestinal Division, The Mount Sinai School of Medicine,
One Gustave L. Levy Place, New York, NY 10029, USA
Presented at the ENET meeting in London, May 2003
Abstract
The rationale underlying an aggressive approach in the management of some carcinoid patients is explained and illustrated by the presented case of a middle-aged man with advanced classic typical midgut carcinoid. The patient exhibited somatostatin receptor scintigraphy positive massive liver metastases, Carcinoid Syndrome, severe tricuspid and pulmonic cardiac valve disease with congestive heart failure, ascites, and malnutrition. He had been treated for several years with supportive medications and biotherapy including octreotide and alpha interferon but his tumor eventually progressed and his overall condition was markedly deteriorated when he first sought more aggressive treatment. This consisted of prompt replacement of both tricuspid and pulmonic valves, followed by hepatic artery chemoembolus injection and then surgical tumor debulking including excision of the primary tumor in the small intestine. In addition, radiofrequency ablation was utilized to reduce the volume of metastases in the liver. Prophylactic cholecystectomy was also performed and a biopsy of tumor was submitted for cell culture drug resistance testing. This was followed by systemic chemotherapy utilizing the drug (docetaxel) which the in vitro studies suggested as most likely to be effective. His excellent response to this succession of treatments exemplifies the successful application of aggressive sequential multi-modality therapy.
