Lugol's solution for preoperative management of a TSH/GH-secreting pituitary adenoma with suboptimal response to octreotide: a case report. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
Initial long-acting octreotide treatment was ineffective in controlling hyperthyroidism and was discontinued after 5 months. Despite SSTR2/5 positivity, suboptimal response to octreotide suggests tumor heterogeneity or downstream signaling defects. Preoperative Lugol's solution should be considered when SSAs and methimazole fail.

Histological Evidence of familial GH-PitNET Associated with Germline MAX Mutation. (PubMed, Eur J Endocrinol)
Despite multimodal therapy (lanreotide, cabergoline, two debulking surgeries), disease control was achieved only after pasireotide and adjuvant proton therapy. The same variant was found in her father, who had a smaller intrasellar macroadenoma causing acromegaly. This familial observation provides the functional evidence that MAX is a driver in GH-PitNET and a candidate gene for PitNET predisposition.

Identification of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor During Evaluation for Severe Valvulopathy in a Patient With a History of Lung Carcinoid Tumor: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient underwent aortic valve replacement followed by long-acting octreotide therapy...This case represents an exceptionally rare scenario of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in a patient with prior lung carcinoid tumor and raises the critical question of pancreatic metastasis versus a second primary NET in the absence of hereditary syndromes. It underscores the need for heightened vigilance for second primary malignancies (SPMs) and atypical metastatic patterns in patients with a history of NETs and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary evaluation for accurate classification and optimal management.

Clinical Experience with Targeted Alpha-Emitter Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (α-PRRT) for Somatostatin Receptor-Positive Neuroendocrine Tumors. (PubMed, Pharmaceuticals (Basel))
Early results support α-PRRT as a potential first- or second-line therapeutic option. Ongoing phase III trials will be critical to confirm its long-term safety, survival outcomes, and role in routine clinical practice.

Use of Pasireotide in Acromegaly: Clinical Experiences From a Series of Patients in Qatar. (PubMed, Case Rep Endocrinol)
Patient 2, 48-year-old male with a significant macroadenoma and prior cabergoline treatment, achieved partial biochemical control. Four out of these five patients showed reduction in tumour size. This case series corroborates the findings from previous studies, adding insight into treatment challenges and benefits experienced by this heterogeneous group of patients on pasireotide.

Immunohistochemical analysis of filamin a expression in acromegaly and its correlation with tumor characteristics and treatment response. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
In conclusion, our results suggest that FLNA may be associated with tumor invasiveness in GH-secreting pituitary tumors. While data on Pasireotide-treated patients are exploratory, further studies are needed to assess FLNA's potential as a treatment response marker in acromegaly.

Case Report: Bilateral lens dislocation as an atypical presentation of acromegaly and review of the ocular effects of GH/IGF-1 excess. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
It may indicate advanced disease and, if confirmed in other cohorts, could be considered among the suggestive signs of acromegaly. In our case, the use of pasireotide allowed adherence to therapy and optimal therapeutic response in a multicomplicated, non-self-sufficient patient.

Dual Inhibitors of c-MET and EGFR in Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Pharmacophore Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Based in Silico Drug Repositioning. (PubMed, Iran J Pharm Res)
Considering pasireotide's potential to target c-MET and EGFR pathways, our findings provide a strong rationale for its further preclinical validation in the treatment of TNBC. The demonstrated efficacy and safety of pasireotide in this aggressive subtype of cancer can now be evaluated through subsequent studies.

A case report: enhanced somatostatin receptor expression in metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor following everolimus therapy. (PubMed, Front Cell Dev Biol)
From August 2019 to October 2020, he received long-acting octreotide and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), achieving stable disease...In September 2022, oral surufatinib was initiated but paused in September 2023 due to adverse effects...This case demonstrates that everolimus can induce SSTR re-expression in advanced, SSTR-negative pNETs, offering new therapeutic possibilities. The "induction plus re-evaluation" approach could guide personalized treatment strategies in late-stage pNETs, although further studies are needed to validate this approach.
