title: [APUDoma of the abdominal area and bronchial system. Surgical therapy and prognosis].
abstract: 28 patients with APUDomas of the abdomen or bronchial system were reexamined up to 30 years after operation to take a view on therapy and prognosis of these tumors. All patients with benign hyperinsulinism remained free of symptoms after partial pancreatectomy or tumor enucleation, in the mean 12.9 years after operation. In contrast the two patients with islet cell carcinoma died 5 months after operation at the latest. The prognosis of the carcinoid tumors depended decisively on tumor location: The prognosis was favorable in patients with carcinoid tumors of the appendix or bronchial carcinoid (survival time up to 10 years after operation). In contrast all patients with carcinoid tumors of the small intestine died within two years after operation. Tumor size had the most important influence on the prognosis of the disease.
