PRRT is a treatment choice for inoperable or metastasized neuroendocrine tumours and this therapy seems more effective in the biochemical and volume control of disease than SSA. We investigated the role of medical therapy with SSA and PRRT in patients with well and moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumours. We evaluated 55 patients with well or moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumours; 31 patients with either metastatic, unresectable or functioning tumours were ...

Seminal plasma (SP) contains proteins secreted by testis, epididymis and male accessory glands, involved in the successful fertilization of the oocyte. The function of epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles are dependent upon the presence of androgenic stimuli.To investigate the role of testosterone in the modulation of the proteomic pattern in SP, we analyzed human SP proteome comparing the panel of common seminal proteins in five fertile normogonada...

Introduction: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a treatment choice for inoperable or metastasized neuroendocrine tumours and this therapy seems more effective in the biochemical and volume control of disease than somatostatin analogues (SSA).Aims: To demonstrate the efficacy of medical therapy with SSA and PRRT in patients with well and moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumours.Materials and methods: We evaluat...
