Besides well-known effects in GH-secreting adenomas, somatostatin analogs such as octreotide and lanreotide have been used in TSH-secreting adenomas and in the so-called clinically nonfunctioning adenomas. The rationale for their use is based on the evidence that both these tumor types express large amounts of somatostatin receptor subtypes 2 and 5, which are preferentially bound by octreotide and...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 6-month treatment with lanreotide (LAN) (60–90 mg/month) alone and combined with cabergoline (CAB) (1.5-3 mg/week) in 10 acromegalic patients previously demonstrated to be poor responders to octreotide (OCT) (0.6 mg/day) alone and combined with quinagolide (CV) (0.6 mg/day). All patients had previously undergone unsuccessful surgery and none...
