Primary bronchopulmonary carcinoids comprise a significant proportion of carcinoid tumors.
The clinical presentation allows prediction of the diagnosis and cell type and directs …

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the lung all display neuroendocrine granules on
microscopic examination; however, these tumors cover a wide spectrum. This includes …

Summary objectives Scintigraphy with radiolabelled octreotide (octreoscan) is useful for
imaging various neuroendocrine tumours, especially in patients with midgut carcinoids. We …

The increasingly popular use of somatostatin analogs in clinical practice for both diagnostic
and therapeutic purposes prompted extensive investigations on somatostatin receptor (sst) …

Somatostatin (SST) plays an important regulatory role in the physiological control of various
organs including the prostate. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and SST analogs are …

Recently, we developed a cytotoxic analogue of somatostatin (SST), AN-238, in which the
SST carrier peptide RC-121 was linked to 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (2-pyrrolino-DOX)(AN …

Abstract In-111 pentetreotide (Octreoscan) is a radiolabeled somatostatin analog with high

personalized lung cancer management using different ligands and radionuclide-based …

The most common cause of cancer-related deaths in North America is lung cancer, 85% of
which is non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gene therapy is a promising approach, but …

Somatostatin (SS) receptor scintigraphy is useful for the diagnosis of lesions with high
density of SS receptors, and above all neuroendocrine tumors. For several years, only …
