Radiation methods in the diagnosis and determination of the tactics of surgical treatment of multiple primary lung carcinoid on clinical observation

Early and complete diagnosis of carcinoid lung tumors is of great interest in the clinical oncology, since this is the basis for the possibility of using options for organ-preserving surgical treatment. According to the 2015 WHO classification, carcinoids of the group of neuroendocrine tumors are divided into two types: typical and atypical carcinoids. Based on literature data, there are 0.2–2 cases per 100,000 people.
