LK-1: An innovative therapeutic that blocks the function of hCG-β in metastatic breast, bladder, ovarian, and cervical cancers

2025-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Human chorionic gonadotropin beta (hCG-β), while primarily recognized for its role in pregnancy, has also been implicated in poor prognosis for cancer patients over the past several decades. Targeting dysregulated hCG-β production by cancer cells may prove an effective way to combat tumor growth. We propose that targeting hCG-β production using antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino ol...
