Klappentext An invaluable book containing a series of interdisciplinary discussions between clinical and basic scientists. Biology of IGF-1: Its interaction with insulin and health and malignant states focuses on key issues such as:* the definition of danger zones* the development of methods for early recognition of malignant states linked to IGF-1 and/or insulin* possible approaches to preventative intervention* the relevance in this field of research to the development of novel therapeutic approaches to treating certain cancers.
