“…Clinicians have been using radio-labeled octreotide (a somatostatins analog), e.g., gallium-68 ( 68 Ga)-DOTATATE [ 7 , 11 ], as a brain scintigraphy tracer to delineate the extent of meningiomas and to pathologically define extra-axial lesions. In addition to diagnosis and detection [ 12 , 13 ], somatostatin analog, in combination with other systemic therapy, such as everolimus/octreotide, has demonstrated the ability to inhibit meningioma tumor growth [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], although further investigation is needed [ 8 , 17 , 18 ]. Despite these achievements, it is imperative to develop a targeted therapy to treat SSTR2-positive low- and high-grade meningiomas.…”
