Rationale for change
This card should have "rarely" in front of carcinoid syndrome to be more accurate and more helpful for learning the typical presentation of this disease, otherwise it is misleading in training med students to think carcinoid syndrome effects are just as common as mass effects when mass effects are a far more common presentation!
Even the extra section of the card says "bronchial carcinoid tumors produce far less serotonin/vasoactive amines and do not often cause carcinoid syndrome."
