Use of Adrenaline/Epinephrine

Hello. My 16 year old son was diagnosed with metastatic PNETs last November at Mayo in MN, but is currently being treated at Ohio State because that is where we live. He is on monthly Lanreotide shots and has been feeling really well. He has non-functional tumors and does not appear to have carcinoid syndrome. He is having his wisdom teeth removed next week and I wondered if anyone knew if he has to avoid epinephrine in the anesthesia even if he doesn't have carcinoid syndrome?

Thank you!
Deb

Hello Deb @debf

I have been thinking about you and your son. Did you contact his doctor to see about the dental procedure and the epinephrine in the anesthesia? If you feel comfortable doing so, please let us know how the procedure goes for him.
