prednisolone and Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome

prednisolone has been researched along with Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome in 3 studies

Prednisolone: A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states.
prednisolone : A glucocorticoid that is prednisone in which the oxo group at position 11 has been reduced to the corresponding beta-hydroxy group. It is a drug metabolite of prednisone.

Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome: A symptom complex associated with CARCINOID TUMOR and characterized by attacks of severe flushing of the skin, diarrheal watery stools, bronchoconstriction, sudden drops in blood pressure, edema, and ascites. The carcinoid tumors are usually located in the gastrointestinal tract and metastasize to the liver. Symptoms are caused by tumor secretion of serotonin, prostaglandins, and other biologically active substances. Cardiac manifestations constitute CARCINOID HEART DISEASE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Dose escalation was required in order to control carcinoid symptoms, and the final dosage was 5,950 micrograms/day."1.29Long-term survival in a patient with malignant carcinoid treated with high-dose octreotide. ( Deguchi, H; Deguchi, K; Iwasaki, E; Kobayashi, T; Murashima, S; Shirakawa, S; Tsuda, M; Tsukada, T, 1994)
"Prednisolone, which was initially effective, was replaced by SMS201-995 due to the considerable dose increase of the former because its effect became insufficient during the course of the treatment."1.27Successful treatment with a long-acting somatostatin analogue (SMS201-995) in a patient with malignant carcinoid syndrome. ( Deguchi, K; Iwasaki, E; Murashima, S; Shirakawa, S; Tamaki, S; Tsuda, M, 1988)
