Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To measure peptide concentrations and mRNA expression of the IGF Family in breast cancer and to examine their associations with the disease features. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Fresh tumor samples were collected from 348 patients who underwent surgery for breast cancer. Tissue levels of mRNA and peptide of IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-3 were analyzed with real-time RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Cox proportional...
