Carcinoid syndrome occurs in about five percent of patients with carcinoid tumours. Most of these patients have diffuse liver metastases at the first presentation and the surgical options are few. Medical treatment or hepatic dearterialization achieves a temporary response in most cases. Occasionally, the liver lesions are confined to one anatomical lobe and resection may be feasible.
类癌综合征约见于5%的类癌肿瘤患者。这些患者中的大多数在初次就诊时已有弥漫性肝转移，手术选择有限。在大多数情况下，药物治疗或肝动脉去灌注可取得暂时缓解。偶尔，肝脏病变局限于一个肝叶，手术切除可能可行。
