- W2029406318 abstract "Preoperative therapy with octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analog, suppresses GH hypersecretion, shrinks GH-producing tumors and leads to an improvement in subsequent surgical remission in acromegalic patients. A continuous infusion of octreotide has demonstrated more persistent suppression of GH secretion than intermittent injections, and only a few studies were reported on the effect of the tumor shrinkage with a continuous infusion of a small dose of octreotide. We therefore investigated the preoperative effects of small doses of octreotide (120-240 micrograms/day) administered continuously (with a subcutaneous infusion pump) over a short period (2 or 4 weeks) in nine untreated acromegalic patients. Octreotide therapy resulted in suppression of serum GH and IGF-1 concentrations in 8 out of 9 patients and reduction in pituitary tumor size measured by MRI in all patients (by 7.9 to 38.5%). In particular, considerable reduction in tumor size (more than 20%) occurred in 6 of 9 patients. In three patients assessed serially throughout the preoperative period, reduction in tumor size was noted within only one week after the start of octreotide therapy and reduction rate more than 20% was obtained within the first two weeks. In one patient, suprasellar tumor expansion totally disappeared after such therapy. Our results indicate that short-term continuous subcutaneous infusion of a small dose of octreotide results in not only inhibition of GH hypersecretion but also shrinkage of tumor size prior to surgery." @default.
