There are neither evidence based guidelines nor RCTs for follow up of appendix carcinoid tumors. Meanwhile, consensus based effective measures for the secondary prevention of appendix cancer include follow up history and physical examination, tumor marker measurements like CEA, CA-125, CA 19-9, follow up imaging studies, carcinoid tumor markers such serotonin, and specific imaging studies such as octreotide scintigraphy.
