Abstract

It is believed that the insulin-like growth factor receptor type 1 (IGF-1R) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in cancer growth, progression, and resistance to anticancer therapies. Strategies are being developed to block IGF-1R as an anticancer treatment. We reviewed several potential strategies for disrupting the IGF axis. We also reviewed the effects of two drugs that target the IGF-1R: monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Preliminary results of studies involving these agents provided a foundation for ongoing clinical trials, whose results in the near future will help us understand how to incorporate anti IGF-1R strategies into the current anticancer armamentarium.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
