@entity1653 are @entity1313 that are usually to recur. Studies have shown in vitro and in vivo that @entity1653 , regardless of histology and classification, express @entity1943 receptors (SSTRs). We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of five SSTR subtypes ( @entity22796 - @entity7932 ) in @entity5 tissue sections from 60 @entity1 with diagnosis of @entity1653 who underwent surgical resection and relating it to @entity1 age and sex, @entity5 histology, location, regrowth/recurrence and follow-up. Mean (SD) @entity1 age was 53.18 (12.6) years and 44 were @entity1 (73.3%). According to the WHO histological grading criteria, 47 (78.3%) @entity1653 were grade I, 11 (18.3%) were grade II, and 2 (3.3%) were grade III. All five SSTRs were expressed in our sample, at frequencies ranging from 61.6 to 100%, with a predominance of @entity7931 . @entity7932 was more frequently expressed in @entity5 benign than in @entity5 malignant (P<0.013). Recurrence-free survival rate at 2 years was 75.2%. There were no significant differences in SSTR expression regarding age, sex, @entity5 location and regrowth/recurrence. SSTR expression was detected at a significant frequency in this series. @entity7932 showed higher expression in @entity5 benign supporting the use of these SSTRs in diagnostic of @entity1653 and their influence in process of tumorigenesis in @entity1653 recurrence.
