E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]

, 2018
Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs)

Meta-analysis on the effects of octreotide on tumor mass in acromegaly. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The long-acting somatostatin analogue octreotide is used either as an adjuvant or primary therapy to lower growth hormone (GH) levels in patients with acromegaly and may also induce pituitary tumor shrinkage.
