Abstract | INTRODUCTION: AREAS COVERED: EXPERT OPINION: In addition to the development of novel somatostatin analogs and refining treatment with existing somatostatin analogs, alternative treatments targeting the somatostatin receptors that aim at increasing the number of somatostatin receptors should be explored as well, thereby broadening treatment perspectives and increasing options for prolonging survival.
