Summary A 53-year-old man with metastatic ileal carcinoid ultimately failed to respond to conventional measures of surgery and was finally treated with a new long acting somatostatin analogue, SMS 201–995 for 7 months. SMS 201–995 not only gave symptomatic relief but also induced a reduction in metastatic tumor mass.Abbreviations HIA 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid - VIP vasoactive intestinal polypeptide |
