Generously supported by IPSEN)-->Acromegaly is a chronic disease with an important impact on patients, health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Acromegaly quality of life questionnaire (AcroQoL) is a disease-generated QoL questionnaire comprising 22 questions each having five possible responses scored 15, the maximum score of 110 reflecting best possible QOL, and quoted as a percentage. The 22 items break down into two categorie...

Objective: The specificity and cellular origin of the SSRS findings in CN, HN, PC and GD is currently unclear and partially contradicts the well defined action of somatostatin on thyroid cell signaling. Therefore, we systematically evaluated SSTR2 expression in benign cold (CN) and hot thyroid nodules (HN), papillary carcinomas (PCs) and Graves disease (GD) in comparison with intraindividual control surrounding tissues (ST) by means of immunohistochemistry.<p class="...
