Abstract
The presence of high numbers of somatostatin receptors seems to be the basis for the successful control by Sandostatin of hormonal hypersecretion by most growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas, endocrine pancreatic tumors, and carcinoids. In this report, we present preliminary data on in vivo somatostatin receptor imaging with a 123I-coupled somatostatin analog (204-090) in patients with these types of tumors.Entities:
