Review Articles On Islet Cell Carcinoma

A pancreatic islet cell tumor is a tumor that is developed in the pancreas from a cell called an islet cell. These cells are responsible for the production and secretion of hormones like insulin and glucagon. These hormones are then released into the circulatory system. Other names of islet cell carcinoma are islet of Langerhans tumor, pancreatic endocrine tumor, and neuroendocrine tumor. An islet cell tumor can be non-cancerous or cancerous. Depending on the type of islet cell tumor, an overproduction of specific hormones can be resulted. An islet cell tumor is very uncommon; however it can cause various symptoms depending upon the kind of hormone that it produces. If the tumor is cancerous, and spreads to different parts of the body, the malignancy can turn out to be intense.
