Extensive invovelment of small intestine by carcinoid tumor is associated with higher probability of liver(not the lung) metastasis MC malignant tumor of small intestine: Adenocarcinoma> Carcinoid Carcinoid tumors have the best prognosis of all small bowel tumors, whether the disease is localized or metastatic Resection of a carcinoid tumor localized to its primary site approaches a 100% survival rate. Five-year survival rates are about 65% among patients with regional disease and 25% to 35% among those with distant metastasis Appendiceal carcinoids are more common in females Extensive involvement of small intestine is associated with higher probability of liver metastasis Ref: Sabiston 20th edition Pgno: 1276
