Overview
The predominant medical therapy for primary glucagonoma is somatostatin analogs (octreotide). Metastatic tumors need hepatic artery embolization, radiofrequency ablation, and molecular therapy.
Management of Primary Tumor
- Somatostatin analogs (octreotide) are the treatment of choice to control symptoms.[1]
- Doxorubicin and streptozotocin have also been used successfully to selectively damage alpha cells of the pancreatic islets.
Drug regimen
Preferred regimen (1): Octreotide 400 micrograms/day
Metastasis Therapy
Hepatic artery embolization
- Hepatic arterial embolization is a palliative treatment in patients with symptomatic hepatic metastases who are not candidates for surgical resection.
- Embolization can be performed via the infusion through an angiography catheter into hepatic arteries.
Radiofrequency ablation
- Ablation can be performed percutaneously or laparoscopically in patients with symptomatic hepatic metastases who are not candidates for surgical resection.
- Ablation is applicable only to smaller lesions less than 3 cm.[2]
Molecular therapy
- Sunitinib is a radio-labeled somatostatin analog which has a role in the management of glucagonoma's that are not symptomatic or have rapidly progressive metastasis.
