Key Words	Neuroendocrine tumors; Antitumor effect; Octreotide; Overall survival; Progression-free survival
Core Tip	This review comprehensively summarizes the existing clinical trial and observational studies that have assessed long-acting octreotide’s tumor control effect. The comparative studies of relatively large sample size support long-acting octreotide’s antitumor effect on time to tumor progression and overall survival. This review shows the rarity of existing studies assessing octreotide’s antitumor effect; future research is warranted.
