Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has mitogenic and antiapoptotic effects on breast cancer cells. Epidemiologic studies have shown that high plasma levels of IGF-I and low levels of IGF binding protein (BP)-3 are associated with increased risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women. The actions

## Abstract Recent epidemiological studies have shown that high serum levels of insulinโlike growth factorโI (IGFโI) are associated with an increased risk of lung, colon, breast and prostate cancer. Since very few studies have addressed the role of serum levels of IGFโI in the development of pancre
## Abstract Insulinโlike growth factor (IGF)โI, a mitogenic and antiโapoptotic peptide, has been implicated in the development of several cancers. We hypothesized that high circulating IGFโI concentrations may be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. A caseโcontrol study was nested w
