摘要: The type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) plays multiple roles in several cancers and increased circulating levels of factor-I (IGF-I) are associated with risk breast, colon, prostate cancers. Because IGF-II insulin signal via the (IR) to stimulate cancer cells, inhibition IR might be necessary totally disrupt action IGFs their receptors. This review describes well-recognized IGF-IR driving malignant phenotype, examines evidence that perhaps should also targeted inhibit effects IGF ligands cancer, strategies signaling highlights some key issues need considered as clinical trials targeting proceed.
