Brief Summary: This study explored the relationship between Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2) immunoreactivity and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) immunoreactivity, mutational status, and clinical behavior of paragangliomas (PPGLs), and evaluated SSTR-based therapies in metastatic PPGLs. The findings highlight SSTR2 expression as a novel biomarker for metastatic behavior in PCC, PGL and SDHB/ SDHx mutations. They also suggest that SSTR-based therapie...
