Radiation Methods in the Diagnosis and Determination of Surgical Treatment Tactics for Primary Multiple Lung Carcinoid

Abstract

The early and complete diagnosis of lung carcinoid tumors is of great interest in clinical oncology, since this is the basis for the possibility of using options for organ-sparing surgical treatment. According to the 2015 WHO classification, carcinoids belong to the group of neuroendocrine tumors and are divided into two types: a typical carcinoid and an atypical one. Based on the data available in the literature, there are from 0.2 to 2 cases per 100,000 population. The paper considers the possibilities of radiation studies in the early diagnosis of this tumor, as well as those of determining the tactics, type, and scope of surgical treatment.
