A modified method for the preparation of a radiolabeled analog of somatostatin (123I-octreotide) is described. The pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of this analog were evaluated in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Thirty patients had multiple blood and urine samples and sequential anterior and posterior whole-body scintigraphy up to 40 hr postinjection of 123I-octreotide. Region of interest a...
Pancreatic cancer is generally refractory to most chemotherapeutic agents. We investigated whether hSSTR2 expression and octreotide treatment reverse multidrug resistance of human pancreatic cancer cells. We used pancreatic cancer cells that were transfected by using a lentivirus expression system, which allowed stable expression of the hSSTR2 gene in the pancreatic cancer cells. BxPC-3 cells w...
To assess a possible influence of short-term administration of somatostatin on remission development in adult patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 1, the somatostatin analog octreotide was given for two weeks after the establishment of the diagnosis at the daily dose of 150 microg subcutaneously in addition to the regular insulin and metabolic therapy. When compared to the contr...
INTRODUCTION Hyperinsulinism associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) can occur in about 50% of cases, causing hypoglycemia of variable severity. Parenteral use of octreotide may be indicated if unresponsive to diazoxide. There is limited data on use of octreotide in BWS. OBJECTIVE Chart review describing 2 cases with BWS and hypoglycemia treated with long acting Octreotide as a mont...
there have been only isolated reports of gall stones occurring during octreotide treatment.' Gall bladder contraction and cholecystokinin secretion in response to food are almost abolished by its administration4 and may contribute to stone formation. The high incidence of gall stones might have been due to the higher doses of the drug which we used. None of our patients had symptoms from the ga...
We report the case of a patient that developed hepatic hydrothorax as the first complication of liver cirrhosis. Due to the lack of response to diuretics, pleurodesis and TIPS, treatment with octreotide was started with resolution of hydrothorax. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of refractory hepatic hydrothorax with complete and sustained response to octreotide.
© Touch MEdical MEdia 2013 Abstract Octreotide has an important role in the medical management of acromegaly. Its place in the management of acromegaly as an adjuvant therapy after neurosurgery is well established with a well-demonstrated efficacy. It can also be used in certain clinical conditions as a neoadjuvant treatment. Clinicians and patients should be aware of the possible side effects ...
UNLABELLED A 48-year-old hypertensive and diabetic patient presented with a 10-year history of progressive right facial pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, sweating, and palpitations. Investigations revealed a 5.6 cm vascular tumor at the carotid bifurcation. Her blood pressure (BP) was 170/110, on lisinopril 20 mg od and amlodipine 10 mg od and 100 U of insulin daily. A catecholamine-secreting carot...
UNLABELLED Vasoactive drugs are recommended to be started as soon as possible in suspected variceal bleeding, even before diagnostic endoscopy. However, it is still unclear whether the therapeutic efficacies of the various vasoactive drugs used are comparable. The aim of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial was to characterize the effects of terlipressin, somatostatin...
Key Messages Octreotide can be used as an adjunctive therapy to increase phosphorus levels in patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia. Malignant phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) may benefit from treatment with peptide receptor radionucleotide therapy. Context The success of treatment modalities for malignant PMT is limited. Octreotide has been used to treat hypophosphatemia in patients w...
