Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Prostate Cancer Risk: A Prospective Study
June M. Chan,Meir J. Stampfer,Edward Giovannucci,Peter H. Gann,Jing Ma,Peter Wilkinson,Charles H. Hennekens,Michael Pollak +7 more
TL;DR: A strong positive association was observed between IGF-I levels and prostate cancer risk, independent of baseline prostate-specific antigen levels, which may have implications for risk reduction and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor signalling in neoplasia
TL;DR: Epidermiological, clinical and laboratory research methods are being used to investigate novel cancer prevention and treatment strategies related to insulin and IGF signalling, including the use of novel receptor-specific antibodies, receptor kinase inhibitors and AMP-activated protein kinase activators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susan E. Hankinson,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,David J. Hunter,Dominique S. Michaud,Dominique S. Michaud,Bonnie Deroo,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer,Michael Pollak +12 more
TL;DR: A positive relation between circulating IGF-I concentration and risk of breast cancer was found among premenopausal but not postmenopausal women, and may be useful in the identification of women at high risk of Breast cancer and in the development of risk reduction strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
