Neuroendocrine Tumors Ongoing Research:

  • Development of novel radiolabeled peptides for intraoperative tumor localization, scintigraphy, and in situ radiotherapy.
  • Development of in vitro models of human angiogenesis.
  • Alterations in gene expression during the transformation of human blood vessels from the quiescent to proliferative phenotype.
  • A clinical trial of a new somatostalin analog, SOM-230, for the treatment of Carcinoid Syndrome.
  • Development of lipophilic somatostatin analogs for
    in situ radiotherapy.
  • Development of hydrophilic somatostatin analogs for
    in situ radiotherapy.
  • Development of in vitro / in vitro modeling techniques for the administration of radiolabeled peptides.
  • A clinical trial of thalidomide as an anti-tumor agent in patients with carcinoid tumors.
