5-hydroxytryptophan and Cancer of Pancreas

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Cancer of Pancreas in 14 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

" Carcinoid tumors with liver metastases, especially those of midgut origin, produce serotonin via the precursors tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and this overproduction contributes to the clinical symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome."5.07Positron emission tomography (PET) in neuroendocrine gastrointestinal tumors. ( Ahlström, H; Bergström, M; Eriksson, B; Långström, B; Lilja, A; Oberg, K, 1993)
" In this study we examined the effects of two agents that promote cellular differentiation, sodium butyrate and hexamethylene bisacetamide, on the in vitro growth and secretory responses of a human pancreatic carcinoid (BON) and human gastrinoma (PT-2 and PT-SM) cell lines that have been established in our laboratory."3.68Differential effects of sodium butyrate and hexamethylene bisacetamide on growth and secretion of cultured human endocrine tumor cells.

( Ahlström, H; Bergström, M; Eriksson, B; Långström, B; Lilja, A; Oberg, K, 1993)
"In all carcinoid patients (18)F-DOPA PET and (11)C-5-HTP PET detected more lesions than SRS (P < ."1.35Improved staging of patients with carcinoid and islet cell tumors with 18F-dihydroxy-phenyl-alanine and 11C-5-hydroxy-tryptophan positron emission tomography.

"Carcinoid (n = 24) or pancreatic islet cell tumor (n = 23) patients with at least one lesion on conventional imaging including somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) and computed tomography (CT) scan underwent (11)C-5-hydroxytryptophan ((11)C-5-HTP) PET and 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dihydroxy-phenylalanine ((18)F-DOPA) PET."1.35Improved staging of patients with carcinoid and islet cell tumors with 18F-dihydroxy-phenyl-alanine and 11C-5-hydroxy-tryptophan positron emission tomography.
