Vipoma is a rare type of cancer that affects hormone-producing cells in the pancreas, known as islet cells.

Vipoma
A vipoma is a rare type of endocrine tumour of the pancreas. It secretes (or makes and releases) abnormal amounts of a hormone called VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide).

VIPoma. A VIPoma arises from cells in the pancreas that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a hormone that plays a role in water transport in the intestines.

VIPomas produce too VIP hormone (vasoactive intestinal peptide hormone). The symptoms are profuse watery diarrhoea, flushing and high blood pressure.

VIPomas, which make vasoactive intestinal peptide. VIPoma may also be called Verner-Morrison syndrome.
Somatostatinomas, which make somatostatin.
These other types of tumors are grouped together because they are treated in much the same way.

VIPomas
Calcitonin is a hormone produced in the C cells of the thyroid gland. Its role in humans is unclear. In animals, calcitonin helps to regulate blood calcium by slowing down the amount of calcium released from the bones.

A symptom of pernicious anemia, atrophic gastritis, VIPomas or of stomach cancer.
Radiation therapy involving the stomach.
