Somatostatin analogs as primary medical therapy for acromegaly.

Abstract:

:Acromegaly is a debilitating disease usually caused by a growth-hormone secreting pituitary adenoma. Therapeutic goals include improvement of symptoms, reduction in tumor mass, biochemical normalization, and preservation of pituitary function. Treatment options include transsphenoidal surgery, radiation, and pharmacotherapy. In view of the good cure rate, surgery remains the therapeutic modality of choice for most patients with microadenomas or well-circumscribed macroadenomas. In contrast, >40% of patients with invasive macroadenomas (who make up the majority of patients with acromegaly) will have residual disease following surgery, and require additional therapeutic intervention. Somatostatin analogs result in biochemical normalization in >60% of non-operated patients, and are well tolerated. Therefore, somatostatin analogs have emerged as a rational first-line treatment for the appropriately selected patient with acromegaly.
