  4. Surgical treatment (1) The patient was referred for surgical treatment and underwent (4/2008) laparotomy in which a 4 cm segment of small bowel was excised along with 2 para-aortic lymph nodes

  5. Histology Carcinoid tumor of the small bowel, diameter 1.2 cm, invasive of all intestinal wall, with +2/2 lymph nodes • (+) CgA, NSE • Ki-67< 2% • < 2 mitoses/10HPF G1 The patient was referred to the Gastroenterology Unit

  6. Clinical examination-Initial assessment • Weight: 55 kg, ΒΜΙ: 17 kg/m2 • BP 110/70 mm Hg • Clinical examination: nil of note • No symptoms of carcinoid syndrome • CgA : 230 nmol/l (<4), 24-h urine 5 HIIA: 1 mg (<8) • Heart echo- : normal • Οctreoscan: normal distribution

  7. Medical treatment • Somatostatin analogues • Chemotherapy (SZT + 5FU) from 6/2008 (5 cycles)

  8. Reassesment • Abdominal CT (12/2008) Multiple liver metastatic lesions 1-4 cm and a 4 cm mass in front of aorta Platinum based chemotherapy started 1/2009 (6 cycles) Somatostatin analogues continued During 2009 the disease remained radiologically stable, although CgA rose to 900 nmol/l

  9. Initiation of mTOR inhibitors (2010) • From January 2010 and for 16 months the patient was treated with Everolimus 10 mg daily Abdominal CT: Improvement of the large liver lesion by 20% CgA substantially reduced to 250 nmol/l The patient opted to stop treatment in May 2011
