Overexpression of peritumoral vascular somatostatin receptors with high affinity for SSTR2-binding analogs, such as octreotide, has been reported in several human tumors (neuroendocrine tumors ...

Somatostatin analogs (e.g., octreotide, lanreotide) will continue to be main therapies for functioning neuroendocrine tumors over the next years. Pasireotide, a new panreceptor analog, might ...

She initially received a long-acting somatostatin analog (octreotide) and chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide, which was ineffective. A 61-year-old woman was referred to an oncology ...

Glucagon is regulated by the inhibitory effects of somatostatin. Human somatostatin binds to all five SSTRs, while the drug analog octreotide only binds to SSTR 2. However, the researchers ...
