#447 SOMscan: Towards a Ga-68-labeled Pan-Somatostatin PET Imaging Probe Based on SOM230 (Pasireotide)

Introduction: The somatostatin receptor subtype sst2 is largely expressed on neuroendocrine tumors. However, current clinical studies indicate that the subtypes sst1, 3, 5 are of substantial relevance as well.

#89 Hyperplasia-adenoma sequence in pituitary carcinogenesis: new insight into the role of AIP gene

Introduction: Pituitary adenoma predisposition has been recently associated with germline mutations in the Aryl-Hydrocarbon Receptor Interacting Protein (AIP) gene. This association has been detected in familial and, more rarely, in sporadic cases. The mechanisms by which the AIP mutations promote pituitary adenoma development remain unknown.
