2019 ASCO Annual Meeting Online Abstract:
Video-Based Patient Education on Carcinoid Syndrome: Positive Knowledge and Behavior Shift for Patients

Reticence to discuss symptoms, particularly debilitating diarrhea, perpetuates negative QOL, as does confusion of CS symptoms with other conditions and dietary challenges.
