IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Higher blood levels of IGF-1, a growth factor, are linked to increased risk of several types of cancer, including thyroid, melanoma and myeloma. IGF-1 is what some call "a growth-promoter" because it has been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells.
The IGF-1 signaling pathway promotes cancer progression; its downregulation is associated with lowered risk.
