Where this comes from

Abstract

Data from experimental model systems and population studies have implicated type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) signaling in many different human cancers. Drugs to disrupt IGF1R function have been developed and are now entering clinical trial. This brief review will identify key areas to consider as these clinical trials move forward.
