Abstract
GH, IGF-1, and insulin are emerging as important and independent mediators of tumor development and aging. Two recent studies report that humans with GH-receptor deficiency are protected from developing cancer through alterations in GH, IGF-1, and insulin signaling, decreasing the susceptibility of cells to DNA damage and abnormal proliferation.Entities:
