Role of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptors in Cancer Signaling

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The insulin-like growth factor signaling system has been implicated in cancer etiology, progression, and metastasis. This signaling system involves a network of highly related ligands and receptors. Targeting of this system is complex; multiple receptors, including the insulin receptor, are involved. Further, holo- and hybrid receptors must be considered when considering therapeutic strategies. This review will evaluate the signaling pathways mediated by this system.
