Human IGF1 pro-forms induce breast cancer cell proliferation via the IGF1 receptor.
Cellular oncology (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ·doi:10.1007/s13402-015-0263-3

BackgroundIGF1 is a key regulator of tissue growth and development and has been implicated in the initiation and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer. Through IGF1 mRNA splicing different precursor pro-peptides, i.e., the…

Circulating prolactin levels and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-013-0156-6

PurposeIndirect evidence from experimental and epidemiological studies suggests that prolactin may be involved in ovarian cancer development. However, the relationship between circulating prolactin levels and risk of ovarian cancer is unkno…

C-reactive protein and ovarian cancer: a prospective study nested in three cohorts (Sweden, USA, Italy).
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-009-9330-2

ObjectivesInflammatory processes may influence the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer, but available epidemiological evidence is limited and indirect. Circulating C-reactive protein (CRP), a sensitive marker of inflammation, may serve as a d…
