Successful induction therapy with sequential CVD followed by high-dose lanreotide in for metastatic SDHB paraganglioma: Case report

CVD, together with a 14-day regimen of high dose lanreotide, may be an effective treatment option for SDHB-related metastatic PGLs. Therefore, further evaluation of somatostatin analogues, preferably lanreotide, in the treatment of metastatic SDHB-related PGLs is warranted. We believe that ours is the first report detailing the successful use of lanreotide treatment prior to a surgical rescue after systemic treatment.
