类癌为氨前体摄取脱羧酶系统的一部分,因分泌各种不同形式的氨和多肽激素而造成独特而复杂的症状,即类癌综合征。这些肿瘤的来源及潜在恶性变异甚大,有时难于选择正确的手术治疗。本文复习1942到1979年芝加哥大学医院不加选择的101例类癌,着重诊断与治疗的一般原则。101例中,男性56例,女性45例。年龄为17～86岁,平均53岁。 Carcinoids are part of the ammonia precursor uptake decarboxylase system and cause unique and complex symptoms due to the secretion of various forms of ammonia and polypeptide hormones, namely carcinoid syndromes. The sources and potential malignancy of these tumors are very variable, and it is sometimes difficult to choose the correct surgical treatment. This article reviews 101 unselected carcinoids at the University of Chicago Hospital from 1942 to 1979, focusing on the general principles of diagnosis and treatment. Among the 101 cases, there were 56 males and 45 females. The age ranged from 17 to 86, with an average age of 53.
