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

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play an important role in normal cellular growth and development and have been implicated in the regulation of tumour growth. Two receptors are recognized, IGFR-1 and IGFR-2, of which one, IGFR-1, is a transmembrane heterodimer structurally similar to the insulin r
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
Bearing in mind the continuing controversy over the prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-r) expression, we investigated its clinical significance prospectively in 345 primary breast cancer patients. The prognostic significance of EGF-r expression, as measured by a radioli
## 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
