Allow me to be the acronym buster for this discussion:
- SSA = Somatostatin analogue
https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/neuroendocrine-tumours-nets/treatment/somatostatin-analogues/what-are
The most common somatostatin analogue drugs used are octreotide and lanreotide

- NELM = neuroendocrine liver metastases
- PFS = progression free survival

Thanks for asking on behalf of everyone, Tom.
