IGF-1R Cancer Research Results

IGF-1R, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: HalifaxProj(inhibit)
Type:
Also IGF1R
A link between elevated IGF levels and the development of solid tumors, such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Gene amplification of IGF1R, which encodes insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, is a frequent event across cancer types. Upregulation of IGF1R protein expression in tumor samples and serum in NSCLC patients. Upregulation of IGF-IR signaling can help cancer cells resist anoikis by inhibiting p53 and p21 activation.
Many cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, have been found to exhibit overexpression of IGF-1R. This overexpression can contribute to increased cell proliferation and survival, promoting tumor growth.
