Abstract：
:Acromegaly is a rare disease with typical clinical manifestations. Untreated acromegaly carries a 2-4-fold increase in mortality in long-term outcome. The goal of treatment is double, including biochemical control of the disease (normalization of serum IGF1 levels compared to age and gender matched controls, GH levels below 1 ng/ml after oral glucose load, or random GH below 2.5 ng/ml) and control of the tumor mass. The therapeutic modalities currently available for the treatment of acromegaly are: surgery, medical therapy, radiation therapy and their combinations. The cornerstones of medical therapy in acromegaly are the somatostatin receptor ligands due to their effectiveness in controlling GH excess in 60-70 % of patients and their beneficial effects on tumor volume. Somatostatin analogues have an established role as adjuvant therapy after non-curative surgery, and evidence suggests their use as primary treatment for selected patients. The long-term use of somatostatin receptor ligands is safe and they are well tolerated. Future medical therapy consists of pasireotide, a novel, universal somatostatin receptor agonist, and a new class of drugs named dopastatins. The latter so-called chimeric molecules have strong affinity for somatostatin receptors and dopamine-2 receptors, resulting in a more effective blocking of GH secretion, according to preliminary data. The authors of this paper review the current medical therapy of acromegaly, focusing on the role of somatostatin receptor ligands.
