Abstract
Despite landmark advances in cancer treatments over the last 20 years, cancer remains the second highest cause of death worldwide, much ascribed to intrinsic and acquired resistance to the available therapeutic options. In this review, we address this impending issue, by focusing the spotlight on the rapidly emerging role of growth hormone action mediated by two intimately related tumoral growth factors - growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Here, we not only catalog the scientific evidences relating specifically to cancer therapy resistance inflicted by GH and IGF1 but also discuss the pitfalls, merits, outstanding questions and the future need of exploiting GH-IGF1 inhibition to tackle cancer treatment successfully.
期刊介绍：
Endocrine-Related Cancer is an official flagship journal of the Society for Endocrinology and is endorsed by the European Society of Endocrinology, the United Kingdom and Ireland Neuroendocrine Society, and the Japanese Hormones and Cancer Society.
Endocrine-Related Cancer provides a unique international forum for the publication of high quality original articles describing novel, cutting edge basic laboratory, translational and clinical investigations of human health and disease focusing on endocrine neoplasias and hormone-dependent cancers; and for the publication of authoritative review articles in these topics.
Endocrine neoplasias include adrenal cortex, breast, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neuroendocrine tumours, ovary, prostate, paraganglioma, parathyroid, pheochromocytoma pituitary, testes, thyroid and hormone-dependent cancers. Neoplasias affecting metabolism and energy production such as bladder, bone, kidney, lung, and head and neck, are also considered.
