Medical treatment of acromegaly is currently performed through a trial-error manner using somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) as first-line drugs. Average SRLs response is seen in 50% of cases; subsequent drugs are indicated following clinical judgement. Some biomarkers either before or after surgical failure have been reported to predict SRLs response, including intensity in T2 weighted MRI, short acute octreotide test (sAOT), and different molecules such as SST2 and E-cadhe...
