Somatostatin Receptors in Human Meningiomas—Clinicopathological Aspects
Meningiomas have high recurrence rates despite frequently benign histopathological appearances. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) may be reliable biomarkers that could identify patients with increased risk of recurrence. Even though SSTRs are previously detected in meningiomas, their associations to cl...

Meningiomas have high recurrence rates despite frequently benign histopathological appearances. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) may be reliable biomarkers that could identify patients with increased risk of recurrence. Even though SSTRs are previously detected in meningiomas, their associations to clinicopathological features remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of SSTRs in a large series of human meningiomas with long follow-up data. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of SSTR1-SSTR5 in tissue samples from 162 patients diagnosed with intracranial meningiomas of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1 or 2. Digital scoring and a manual staining index were applied to assess immunoreactivity. All SSTRs, except SSTR4, were upregulated in our series of meningiomas. SSTR1 (<i>p</i> = 0.036), SSTR2 (<i>p</i> = 0.036) and SSTR5 (<i>p</i> = 0.029) were associated with a higher malignancy grade. SSTR2 presented as the most reliable marker. Only SSTR2 was associated with time to recurrence (TTR) in univariate Cox regression analyses.
