Abstract excerpt
A promising therapeutic alternative to inhibition of growth factor receptors is the inhibition of downstream signal transduction pathways. Such an approach may be especially important in tumors that can use signals from multiple growth factor receptors for growth and survival. Both stem cell factor (SCF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, components of prominent small cell lung cancer (SCLC) autocrine loops,...
