Combined SSTR2-targeted Analogue with 177Lu-DOTATATE radionuclide and octreotide therapy for refractory meningioma: a case report [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyMeningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults. Beyond surgery and radiation, no standard of care therapy exists. Meningiomas overexpress somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), providing the rationale for somatostatin analogue-based ...

Optimization of automated radiosynthesis method for [18F]AlF-NOTA-Octreotide and PET/CT imaging in neuroendocrine neoplasms [PDF]
EJNMMI Radiopharmacy and ChemistryBackground Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent heterogeneous tumors with increasing occurrence rate. Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) imaging using 68Ga-labeled analogs is crucial but limited by the relatively short half-life of this radionuclide along

New England Journal of Medicine, 1996 A peptide inhibiting the release of growth hormone was originally detected accidentally during studies of the distribution of growth hormone–releasing factor in the hypothalamus of rats. This peptide, called somatostatin, proved to be a cyclic peptide consisting of 14 amino acids.

Effect of Octreotide Injection on Postoperative Drainage After Neck Dissection: A Preliminary Report of a Prospective, Matched Case-Control Study [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2016 Objectives Somatostatin inhibits lymph production and reduces lymph flow into the lymphatic duct. We hypothesized that octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analog, would reduce drainage after neck dissection (ND) by reducing the overall lymphatic flow ...

Digestion, 1999 complications following pancreatic surgery). Somatostatin analogues including octreotide have been shown to reduce pressure in the splanchnic circulation, an effect that was exploited in the management of variceal and nonvariceal hemorrhages. Despite a widespread therapeutic application, octreotide seems to be a safe drug free of major side effects ...
