## Abstract The evidence that high circulating levels of insulinβlike growth factorβI (IGFβI) are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women lends credence to the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in the __IGFβI__ gene may be involved in the disease. A populati

## Abstract Insulinβlike growth factorβ1 (IGFβI), a potent mitogen, is hypothesized to influence breast cancer risk. In 3 previous studies, a polymorphism in the __IGFβ1__ gene (sequence repeat length) was associated with plasma IGFβI level. We evaluated prospectively the relationships among a (CA)
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
