    Immunological role and prognostic value of somatostatin receptor family members in colon adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
    Our results identify SSTR2 as a promising target for COAD immunotherapy. Our findings provide new insights into the biological functions of the SSTR family and their implications for the prognosis of COAD.

    Correlation between tumor invasion and somatostatin receptor subtypes in acromegaly. (PubMed, J Neurosurg)
    Tumor invasion is negatively correlated with SSTR2 level but is not associated with other SSTR subtypes. Patients with invasive tumors have a poorer response to SSA therapy, which may be due to the low level of SSTR2 expression. Therefore, SSTR2 could be considered as a routine investigative marker for aiding management of postoperative residual tumors.
