Interest in the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis in growth control and carcinogenesis has recently been increased by the finding of elevated serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in association with three of the most prevalent cancers in the United States: prostate cance
## Abstract ## Background Insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein (IMP) 3 is expressed in embryonic tissues and multiple cancers. The aim was to establish the prognostic value of IMP-3 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma. ## Methods IMP-3 expression in resected gastric adenocarcinoma
The mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are regulated by a family of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). One member of this family, IGFBP-3, mediates the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of a number of growth factors and hormones such as transfor
