Somatostatin Receptor Targeted-Radio-Ablation of Tumors new treatment modality for patients bearing sst.-positive tumors. In PRRT the goal is to deliver an effective radiation dose to the tumor without causing undesired effects in healthy tissues. Improvements in the success of radionuclide therapy also depend on the optimization of radiation doses to t

Somatostatin Analogs in the Treatment of Pituitary Tumorsprovement of cardiomyopathy, sleep apnea and arthropathy has been reported during treatment with these somatostatin analogs. LAN displayed beneficial effects also in TSH-secreting adenomas, while the results of treatment with these peptides in patients with clinically nonfunctioning adenomas are still rather limited and controversial.

One of the main challenges for the future will be to unravel the various physiological and pathophysiological roles of somatostatin mediated by SSTR subtypes, and identify potential therapeutical indications for the newly developed subtypeselective somatostatin analogs (27–29).
