The Carcinoid Cancer Ribbon is black and white striped to represent the Zebra.

Because Carcinoid cancer presents with many symptoms of other diseases and is often misdiagnosed for many years.

Why is it identified with Zebras?

The term "zebra" in medicine does not refer to the striped African animal but to an unlikely diagnostic possibility. It comes from an old saying in teaching medical students about how to think logically in regard to the differential diagnosis: "When you hear hoof beats, think of horses, not zebras."

When diagnosing patients who present with varying symptoms, doctors need to remember that when they hear hoof beats it could also be a ZEBRA… therefore, "when you hear hoof beats, consider the ZEBRA!"
