@micahnes I am unaware of a low heart rate being caused by a pNET. I am not saying that it isn't possible. Somatostatin receptors are usually overexpressed on the surface of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. That's how lanreotide, and other NET treatments, frequently work. They seek out those receptors and attach to the NETs treating them. So, it makes sense that your tumor was active in somatostatin. Do you know what grade your pNET is? Has it spread anywhere? Are you seeing a NET specialist?
