## 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
Inhibition of growth of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer xenografts in nude mice by bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) antagonists RC-3940-II and RC-3095

## Abstract Nude mice bearing xenografts of the androgen‐independent human prostate‐cancer cell line PC‐3 were treated for 4 weeks with somatostatin analog RC‐160, bombesin/gastrin‐releasing peptide (GRP) antagonist (RC‐3095), or the combination of both peptides. In the first experiment, treatment
## Abstract Nude mice bearing xenografts of the gastrin‐responsive human gastric carcinoma MKN45 cell line were treated for 4 to 5 weeks with bombesin/gastrin‐releasing‐peptide(GRP) antagonist (RC‐3095), somatostatin analogues RC‐160 and SMS 201‐995, or the combination of RC‐3095 and RC‐160. Tumor
## BACKGROUND. Antagonists of bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (BN/GRP) have been developed to block the autocrine stimulatory effect of BN/GRP on tumors such as small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Although several studies have addressed the intracellular events that follow the formation of the re
## 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
