Regional differences in somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) immunoreactivity is coupled to level of bowel invasion in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors.

CONCLUSIONS: This observation indicates a down-regulation of SSTR2 expression as the tumors progress through the intestinal wall, which might signify underlying biological processes of importance for SI-NET invasion behavior. PMID: 30531706 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
