Circulating insulin-like growth factor-I, total and free testosterone concentrations and prostate cancer risk in 200 000 men in UK Biobank

Eleanor L. Watts et al.

Summary: This study found that higher circulating IGF-I levels were positively associated with prostate cancer incidence and mortality, while higher free testosterone levels were associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Higher levels of SHBG were associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Total testosterone was not associated with prostate cancer in this study.

Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction

David Conti et al.

Summary: The study identified 86 new genetic risk variants associated with prostate cancer, bringing the total known risk variants to 269. The top genetic risk score decile showed different odds ratios for men of European, African, and East Asian ancestries, highlighting the role of germline variation and providing a potential approach for personalized risk prediction.

Insulin-like growth factors: Ligands, binding proteins, and receptors

Derek LeRoith et al.

Summary: The IGF family of ligands, receptors, and binding proteins play critical roles in normal human physiology and disease states. IGF-I regulates cellular growth, differentiation, and survival to control overall body growth, while IGF-II has important effects prenatally and in tissue-specific roles in adults.
