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

open access: yes, 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)

Resistance to Somatostatin Analogs in Acromegaly [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrine Reviews, 2010
Somatostatin analogs (SA) are widely used in acromegaly, either as first-line or adjuvant treatment after surgery. First-line treatment with these drugs is generally used in the patients with macroadenomas or in those with clinical conditions so severe as to prevent unsafe reactions during anesthesia.

An expression signature of the angiogenic response in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours: correlation with tumour phenotype and survival outcomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) are heterogeneous with respect to biological behaviour and prognosis. As angiogenesis is a renowned pathogenic hallmark as well as a therapeutic target, we aimed to investigate the ...

Pasireotide for the Medical Management of Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Feline hypersomatotropism (HST) is a cause of diabetes mellitus in cats. Pasireotide is a novel multireceptor ligand somatostatin analog that improves biochemical control of humans with HST.

Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...

Carcinoid Heart Disease: How to Diagnose and Treat in 2020?

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2020
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs, originally termed “carcinoids”) create a relatively rare group of neoplasms with an approximate incidence rate of 2.5 to 5 cases per 100 000 persons.

Serial follow-up of presurgical treatment using pasireotide long-acting release with or without octreotide long-acting release for naïve active acromegaly

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the serial changes of GH and IGF-1 in seven patients with naïve, active acromegaly following presurgical treatment of the somatostatin analog pasireotide long-acting release (LAR) and octreotide LAR.

Does treatment with somatostatin analogs differ in the uptake of normal target organs and malignant lesions on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging?

open access: yesGenel Tıp Dergisi, 2022
Objective: Somatostatin analogs (SSA) are used in treating low-grade neuroendocrine tumors, mainly because of their antiproliferative effect. 68Ga tetraazacyclododecantetraacetic acid-DPhe1-Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) PET/CT as somatostatin receptor ...

Dissociation between the effects of somatostatin (SS) and octapeptide SS-analogs on hormone release in a small subgroup of pituitary- and islet cell tumors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The effects of somatostatin (SS-14 and/or SS-28) and of the three octapeptide SS-analogs that are available for clinical use (octreotide, BIM-23014 and RC-160) on hormone release by primary cultures of 15 clinically ...

Progress in the formulation and delivery of somatostatin analogs for acromegaly.

open access: yesTherapeutic delivery, 2017
A 14 amino acid cystin bridge containing neuropeptide was discovered in 1973 and designated as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone, in other words, somatostatin.
