somatostatin receptor sst2A

05/01/2005 - "sst2A receptor was detected in 7/17 insulinomas and sst5 in 15/17 insulinomas. "
05/01/2005 - "Octreotide was effective on hypoglycaemia in those seven patients with sst2A receptor-expressing insulinoma, and in three patients with undetectable sst2A receptor and detectable sst5; it was ineffective in six patients whose tumor expressed the sst5 receptor with undetectable sst2A and in one patient with undetectable sst2A and sst5 receptor. "
05/01/2005 - "We studied the efficacy of octreotide treatment on hypoglycaemia in patients with insulinoma and its relationships with Octreoscan scintigraphy and the presence of tumoral somatostatin receptors sst2A and sst5. "

01/01/2010 - "Somatostatin analogs that activate the somatostatin subtype 2A (sst2A) receptor are used to treat neuroendocrine cancers because they inhibit tumor secretion and growth. "
02/25/2000 - "The sst2A receptor is expressed in the endocrine, gastrointestinal, and neuronal systems as well as in many hormone-sensitive tumors. "
07/01/1998 - "Here, the distribution of the sst2A receptor was investigated using immunohistochemistry with the specific anti-peptide antibody R2-88 in 47 human tumors. "
12/01/2005 - "The somatostatin receptor sst2A is highly expressed at the cellular surface of neuroendocrine and other human tumor cells, allowing somatostatin receptor-targeted scintigraphic tumor imaging and tumor therapy. "

07/01/1999 - "In this study we used a polyclonal antiserum directed against the sst2A receptor to identify more accurately the sst2A-expressing cells in sarcoidosis and other granulomatous diseases. "

01/01/2007 - "Pathological study of liver and bone biopsy material and lung tissue removed 19 years earlier was consistent with an atypical carcinoid producing GHRH and exhibiting sst2A receptor expression. "
