Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Disruption of the balance of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) has been implicated in the etiology and progression of lung and other cancers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in IGF1 and IGFBP3 have been reported to be associated with the expression of the IGF-I/IGFBP3 axis. Therefore, we hypothesized that SNPs in these two genes were associated with lung cancer...
