Yes, carcinoid research funded by the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation will benefit other cancers. Our research grants include analysis of islet cell neuroendocrine cancer–also known as pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer–because that cancer is nearly identical to carcinoid at the cellular level. Also, our funded research will deepen our genetic and molecular understanding of carcinoid and thereby benefit several other neuroendocrine cancers, gastrointestinal cancers, and potentially prostate cancer.
