NCIt definition : A synthetic long-acting octapeptide analogue of endogenous somatostatin. Octreotide
pamoate binds to somatostatin receptors expressed by some neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine
tumor cells, thereby initiating somatostatin receptor-mediated apoptosis. Other possible
antineoplastic activities of this agent include suppression of tumor angiogenesis
and tumor growth-promoting insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). (NCI04);
