Consensus report on the use of somatostatin analogs for the management of neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic system

TL;DR: This consensus report gives a detailed description of the use of somatostatin analogs in the management of neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic system and defines the binding affinities of different somatosteroid analogs to the five different subtypes of som atostatin receptor.

Somatostatin Receptors in Human Endocrine Tumors

TL;DR: The present data could be of potential therapeutic interest if they can mediate antiproliferative properties, as has been suggested to be the case for somatostatin receptors in selected endocrine tumors in rats and humans.

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Analogue (SMS 201-995) in Treatment of Hormone-Secreting Tumors of the Pituitary and Gastrointestinal Tract and Non-Neoplastic Diseases of the Gut

TL;DR: In patients with the carcinoid syndrome, SMS 201-995 effectively reduces diarrhea, is the best available drug for treatment of carcinoid flush, and is useful in treating carcinoid crisis, and whether the long-term use of the drug will result in an iatrogenic form of the somatostatinoma syndrome is uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMS 201-995: a very potent and selective octapeptide analogue of somatostatin with prolonged action.

TL;DR: The analogue H-(D) Phe-Cys-Phe-( D) Trp-Lys-Thr-CYS-ThR(ol) code-named SMS 201-995, which in vitro is three times more potent than the native hormone in inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone, is well tolerated both in laboratory animals and in man.

Growth hormone-releasing factor from a human pancreatic tumor that caused acromegaly.

TL;DR: A 44 amino acid peptide with growth hormone-releasing activity has been isolated from a human tumor of the pancreas that had caused acromegaly and has full biological activity in vitro and in vivo specifically to stimulate the secretion of immunoreactive growth hormone.

Somatotroph Hyperplasia: SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ACROMEGALY BY REMOVAL OF A PANCREATIC ISLET TUMOR SECRETING A GROWTH HORMONE-RELEASING FACTOR

TL;DR: Elevated serum GH and somatomedin C levels in a patient with an enlarged sella turcica and the characteristic responses seen in acromegaly to TRH, dopamine, and glucose do not occur exclusively in patients with discrete pituitary tumors and acromegalic, so consideration of ectopic GRF secretion should be made.
