A szerotonin termelő carcinoid tumorok felismerését segíti elő. A carcinoid tumorok leggyakrabban a gyomor-bél traktus (különös tekintettel a vakbélre), illetve a tüdő hámrétegéből kiinduló, lassan növekvő daganatok.
Carcinoid tumor jelenlétére utaló tünetek esetén (pl. bőrpír, hasmenés és/vagy zihálás).
A kar könyökhajlati vénájából vett vérminta szükségses.
Egyes ételféleségek és gyógyszerek mellőzésének szükségessége merülhet fel.
