Appendix cancer occurs when healthy cells in the appendix change and grow out of control. These cells form a growth of tissue, called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Another name for this type of cancer is appendiceal cancer.
Causes of Carcinoid Syndrome. Carcinoid syndrome occurs when you have a carcinoid tumor that is secreting chemicalsâsuch as serotoninâinto your bloodstream. The chemicals cause your blood vessels to dilate, or open up. Most carcinoid tumors do not secrete chemicals that cause this condition. If a carcinoid tumor does secrete chemicals, the liver often neutralizes them before they can spread through your body. Typically, carcinoid syndrome is a sign that your cancer has spread to your liver or lungs. According to the National Cancer Institute, 58 to 64 percent of people with carcinoid tumors of the small intestine already have metastatic disease in the lymph nodes or liver. (NCI). The cause of these tumors is unknown. However, carcinoid tumors are most likely to form in your gastrointestinal tractâwhich includes your appendix, stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectumâor in your lungs.
