“Neuroendocrine tumors are rare individually, but of many different types. In any case, discovering them in time is an important advantage because there are many more chances of a cure“. Andrea Lenzi, professor of Endocrinology at the Sapienza University of Rome, explains this to Adnkronos Salute, commenting on the words of Fedez, posted on Istagram, in which the singer confessed:” last week I discovered that I have a rare tumor neuroendocrine of the pancreas. One of those who if you don’t get them in time is not a nice cohabitant to have inside your body “.
“There are many neuroendocrine tumors – continues Lenzi – and they are localized in different organs. In reality they affect ‘migrating’ cells which during embryonic life are everywhere in our organism. When these become ill, the pancreas can be one of the localizations, but not the ‘only. They can lodge in the lung, in the aorta, in the thyroid gland, in the adrenal gland“Early diagnosis” is a great success and is the key to not having serious consequences. “The symptoms” can be of the most varied: hypertension, nervous disorders, allergic type. “These tumors, more often than not, produce substances specific and “in many cases the diagnosis can be random, for example linked to further investigations after routine analysis”.
