Effective streptozocin therapy for metastatic pancreatic polypeptide apudoma
S. R. Friesen, R. L. Stephens and G. S. Huard 2nd
An apparently complete remission of metastases in the liver from a resected
pure pancreatic polypeptide apudoma occurred following intra-arterial and
intravenous administration of streptozocin to a patient in a family with
multiple endocrine adenopathy, type 1. Plasma concentrations of human
pancreatic polypeptide constitute an excellent marker system for the
detection and assessment of tumor status before and after surgical and
streptozocin therapy.
