Long-term clinical outcome of somatostatin analogues for treatment of progressive, metastatic, well-differentiated entero-pancreatic endocrine carcinoma

Abstract: Distant extra-hepatic metastases are the major predictor of poor efficacy of somatostatin analogues in progressive, metastatic, well-differentiated entero-pancreatic endocrine carcinomas. Patients achieving response after 6 months of treatment, maintain it throughout a long-term follow-up. Non-responders after 6 months of treatment, have a worse survival, and should be considered for alternative treatments.

“…Median survival or overall survival rates were reported in several studies, but the variability in time periods (1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were variously reported) made them difficult to compare [24,28,31,34,35,39]. The HR for overall survival in an interim analysis of PROMID was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.30 -2.18; p ϭ .77) [38], with further evaluation of overall survival to be made.…”

“…Analyses to identify prognostic factors for antitumor response identified tumor location [35,42,43], tumor progression (fast vs. slow) [24], and distant extrahepatic metastases [35] as significant factors. Trends were also found between functional and nonfunctional tumors, tumor locations, and hepatic tumor burdens [35,43,44].…”

“…SSAs bind to somatostatin receptors to effectively decreasing hormone release and ameliorating clinical symptoms caused by hormonal derangement [5,91]. SSAs have also been shown to exert a cytostatic effect, which can result in disease stabilization and the lengthening of the median time to tumor progression [92].…”
