Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors tend to grow slowly and may not produce noticeable symptoms in early stages. When symptoms develop, they can vary according to the specific location of the tumor and stage of the cancer. For example, tumors in the small intestine may cause abdominal discomfort, while rectal tumors can lead to constipation and bleeding.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer results from cellular DNA damage in the outermost layer of skin (epidermis). In many cases, the triggering event is exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or a tanning bed. The damage causes the cells to mutate, then grow and divide very rapidly. The abnormal cells eventually build up, bind together and form cancerous tumors.
Melanoma is one type of skin cancer. All other types—including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma—are collectively referred to as nonmelanoma skin cancer.
