A total of 23 patients (17 with typical pulmonary carcinoids and 6 with atypical pulmonary carcinoids) were enrolled in our hospital from April 1994 to July 2009. All patients underwent intervention at the Unit of Surgery and then were followed at the Unit of Oncology. The standard protocol for patient monitoring consisted of follow-up at 3months after surgery, 6months after first control and annually for 5years. The follow-up evaluations consisted in blood tests, imaging of chest and abdomen, bone scintigraphy, and brain computed tomography. In case of disease recurrence, patients underwent chemotherapy (etoposide, carboplatin) and radiotherapy. All patients were followed for a mean of follow-up period of 100months, ranging between 20 and 203months. In the group of typical carcinoid, the observed recurrence rate at 5years was zero, at 10years was 5.8%, whereas the observed mortality rate at 5 and 10years was zero. In the group of atypical carcinoid, both the recurrence rate and the mortality rate at 5 and 10years were 16.6%. A statistical significant difference (p = 0.002) in the recurrence rate between stage I and stage II was observed. The overall prognosis of pulmonary carcinoids was favourable, and the typical carcinoids presented a better prognosis than the atypical ones. The stage at time of diagnosis could be considered as a predictive prognostic factor.
