mRNA expression patterns of insulin‐like growth factor system components in human neuroendocrine tumours

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and their corresponding receptors and binding proteins are important in carcinogenesis for several tumours, but their expression pattern in the functionally and biologically heterogeneous human neuroendocrine tumours of the gastroenteropancreatic tract is largely unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study searched for the mRNA expression patterns of components of the...
