Impact of long-acting octreotide in patients with early-stage MEN1-related duodeno-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Summary Background Somatostatin analogues (SSA) represent one of the main therapeutic option in patients affected with functioning well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). There are no studies specifically focusing on NETs associated with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Aim To...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Background Somatostatin analogues (SSA) represent one of the main therapeutic option in patients affected with functioning well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). There are no studies specifically focusing on NETs associated with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Aim To evaluate the efficacy of the long‐acting SSA octreotide in MEN1 patients with early‐stage duodeno‐pancreatic NETs. Patients and Methods Forty patients with MEN1 were retrospectively evaluated. Twenty patients with evidence of one or more MEN1‐related duodeno‐pancreatic NETs
