Insulin-Like Growth Factor Type 1 Receptor Expression Correlates to Good Prognosis in Highly Malignant Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Abstract

IGF-1R expression is a common feature of highly malignant STS. Further elucidation of the role of IGF-1R and the IGF system in STS may both provide a basis for development of new prognostic tools in STS, as well as shed light on the basic mechanisms of the STS development.
