Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family plays a critical role in cancer progression, with the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor IGF-1Rsignificantly regulating cellular growth through specific signaling pathways. These pathways may enhance cell proliferation and colorectal cancer (CRC) advancement. Some studies suggest an association between serum IGF levels and reduced CRC risk. To further...
