1. A method of modulating the rate of proliferation of medullary thyroid carcinoma cells (MTC) which comprises contacting MTC cells with one or more SSTR2 agonist and one or more somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) agonist, wherein said somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) agonist reduces the rate of proliferation of the MTC cells and said SSTR5 agonist attenuates the SSTR-2 agonist-induced reduction in cellular proliferation rate.
