Abstract
Somatotropinomas have unique "fingerprints" of somatostatin receptor (sst) expression, which are targets in treatment of acromegaly with somatostatin analogues (SSAs). However, a significant expression of sst is not always related to the biochemical response to SSAs. Headache is a common complaint in acromegaly and considered a clinical marker of disease activity. SSAs are reported to have an own analgesic effect, but the sst involved are unknown.
