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 ...

It might also help control or shrink some NETs. Common somatostatin analogue drugs used are octreotide and lanreotide. Somatostatin analogues are a treatment for NETs. Doctors don't use them to treat ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A somatostatin analogue is a man made (synthetic ... You have special scans such as PET scans or octreotide scans. These can check whether your NET has somatostatin receptors. If it does, your doctors ...
