Abstract:
s: Pancreatic cancer remains a major unsolved health problem.Over the past decade,antiproliferative effects of somatostatin and analogs have been reported in many somatostatin receptor-positive normal and tumor cell types.Somatostatin and analogs act through five somatostatin receptors(SSTR1-5)which are variably expressed in normal and tumor cells.The present review focuses on recent advances in biological mechanisms involved in the antineoplastic activity of somatostatin and analogs.
