摘要
Aim: Somatostatin analogues are normally used as adjunctive therapy to surgery and radiotherapy in management of acromegaly. We studied the effects of de novo OCT-LAR treatment on growth hormone (GH) suppression, tumour size, cardiovascular function, clinical symptoms, signs and quality of life in 9 newly diagnosed acromegalic patients.
