Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonist Cetrorelix (SB-75) and bombesin antagonist RC-3940-II inhibit the growth of androgen-independent PC-3 prostate cancer in nude mice

Abstract

These findings demonstrate that LH-RH antagonists and BN/GRP antagonists inhibit the growth of the androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line PC-3 in vivo. Both analogs may exert a direct inhibitory effect on tumor growth through a down-regulation of EGF receptors.
