## BACKGROUND. The growth of breast carcinoma is promoted by autocrine growth factors such as the bombesin (BN)-like peptides and epidermal growth factor (EGF). The stimulatory action of BN-like peptides can be blocked by the use of BN/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) antagonists. ## METHODS. The
## Background: Hormones like bombesin (bn)/gastrin-releasing peptide (grp) and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lh-rh) and growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (egf) might be involved in the relapse of prostate cancer under androgen ablation therapy. interference with receptors for
## Background: Receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lh-rh) found in prostate cancers might be used for targeting of chemotherapeutic agents. doxorubicin derivative 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (an-201) can be linked to carrier analog [d-lys6]lh-rh to form the targeted cytotoxic analog of
Experiments have been performed to clarify whether LHRH agonists might decrease growth of hormone-unresponsive prostate cancer in vivo. Male nude mice were injected s.c. with the human androgen-independent prostate tumor DU 145 cells; osmotic minipumps releasing the LHRH agonist Zoladex (LHRH-A) for
