Identification of Clinically Useful Biomarkers for IGF-I Receptor Signalling n Cancer (BIOMARKERIGF)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
The Insulin-like Growth Factor I Receptor (IGF-IR) is widely expressed on human tissues and has been shown to promote the growth and invasiveness of cancer cells. It is a potentially important therapeutic target for several major cancers including breast, lung and colon, and has attracted major interest from pharmaceutical companies and clinicians. Currently, at least 70 clinical trials are underw ...
