TAKE-HOME MESSAGES SSA have become the cornerstone of the treatment of symptomatic advanced NETs There is a strong molecular rationale for an action of SSA as antiproliferative agents The CLARINET study has clearly demonstrated efficacy in tumor growth control of enteropancreatic NETs Combination of SSA with other MTT is of medical interest; Need to be confirmed by ongoing studies.
