Summary
This study looked at 116 people with small-intestine neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoid tumors) to see if a simpler overnight urine test or a blood test could work as well as the standard 24-hour urine test for diagnosis. The standard test requires collecting all urine for 2-3 days and following a special diet, which is burdensome. Researchers compared the accuracy of these different test methods to find a more convenient option.
