Recent epidemiologic studies have suggested that the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor I axis plays an important role in human breast cancer. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the function of GH in rat mammary carcinogenesis, a model that closely recapitulates human breast cancer biology.
