Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Level and Ovarian Cancer Risk.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has an important role in cells' proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, and it may be involved in carcinogenesis. Several epidemiological studies assessed the association between circulating IGF-1 level and ovarian cancer risk, but there was still no conclusive finding. METHODS A meta-analysis of published studies was performed to ass...
متن کاملCirculating insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 and the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I has growth-promoting effects on pancreatic cancer cells, and elevated fasting serum insulin has been linked to pancreatic cancer risk. IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is a downstream target of insulin and inhibits IGF-I activity. To investigate whether prediagnostic plasma levels of IGFBP-1 are associated with pancreatic cancer risk, we did a prospective, case...
متن کاملIncreased circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-I and decreased circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in postmenopausal women with endometrial cancer.
In human endometrium insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-1 inhibits the mitogenic action of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I by inhibiting the binding of IGF-I to its receptor. Our purpose was to compare circulating levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 in women with and without endometrial cancer. We assessed circulating levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in 23 patients with endome...
متن کاملCirculating insulin-like growth factor-I and binding protein-3 and risk of prostate cancer.
Some recent epidemiologic studies have failed to confirm positive associations between insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and the risk of prostate cancer observed in earlier studies but have reported suggestive evidence for a positive association between IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and prostate cancer risk, a result contradicting the earlier assumption that high levels of IGFBP-3 would be...
متن کاملPremenopausal levels of circulating insulin-like growth factor I and the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.
Increased levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) may directly stimulate breast cell proliferation and promote growth and survival of transformed cells. Higher levels of IGF-I have been associated with increased risk of premenopausal breast cancer but not postmenopausal breast cancer. We investigated whether circulating levels of IGF-I prior to menopause are associated with breast cancer...
