## Abstract ## BACKGROUND High concentrations of insulinβlike growth factor (IGF)βI and IGFβII have been demonstrated in human colonic adenocarcinomas and exert mitogenic effects through paracrine/autocrine interactions with the IGFβI receptor (IGFβIR). However, definitive studies of IGFβIR expres

Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour originating from the contractile pericapillary cells. Relatively little is known about its molecular pathogenesis. To address this issue, the insulin-like growth factor family (IGFs) was analysed in 19 tumours collected from a human tumour bank networ
Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote
## Abstract ## Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common nonmelanoma skin cancer. Most of the approximately 250,000 cases occurring annually in the United States are small, nonaggressive, and cured by excision alone. However, a subset of these tumors which are d
In the current study the authors have investigated whether human primary breast cancer specimens contain insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors (IGF-1-R) or IGF-1-like activities. Simultaneously, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors (EGF-R) and cytosolic estrogen receptor (ER), progestero
