Any help on carcinoid syndrome?

seretonin levels raised but now tumors found yet

Answers:
If you have no tumors, you can't be sure that it is carcinoid syndrome unless it runs in your family. They think, but are not sure that it is hereditary.

Here is a site you may want to peruse on carcinoid syndrome: http://www.oncologychannel.com/cancermalignancy/

This site is exceptional: http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/504/main.html#DefinitionofCarcinoidSyndrome There are several links that will take you through all the information you may need to know from definition, to description, the symptoms, how it is diagnosed, to the types of treatment and a list of questions to ask your doctor or oncologist.

Increased serotonin is not necessarily an indicator of carcinoid syndrome. It usually means you are not depressed and are sleeping well. Something else is going on, you may have had other tests that are pointing you in this direction.

I hope this helps and the best of luck to you.

Do you have symptoms of carcinoid?
The test I use to look for carcinoids is a nuclear medicine test called a In-111 OctreoScan. Pain free and 95% sensitive
