}Circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) may be risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer. On the other hand, IGF-II and IGFBP-2 are overexpressed in colorectal carcinomas. These contrasting backgrounds led us to investigate the relationship between serum IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3 and the presence of colorectal adenomas, known precursors of colorectal carcinoma, in 345 volunteers attending a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy trial…

The results confirm those of three recent case-control studies and suggest a possible increase in colorectal cancer risk among subjects with comparatively elevated serum IGF-II, which is not growth hormone dependent and which do not vary with alterations in energy balance.
Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Is Inversely Associated with Colorectal Adenoma Recurrence: A Novel Hypothesis

It is suggested that, once an adenoma is removed, higher IGF-I levels reduce the odds of the formation of new lesions in the colorectum.
Insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin are associated with the presence and advancement of adenomatous polyps.

The hypothesis that insulin and IGF-I may contribute to the development and advancement of adenomatous polyps is supported, and levels of IGF/IGFBP-3, and insulin are associated with adenomas and even more so with advanced adenoma.

- Biology, MedicineCancer research

The findings for IGF-I agree with previous results from PSA screening trials, but contrast with positive associations in routinely detected disease, suggesting that reducing levels of circulating IGF- I might not prevent the initiation of prostate cancer but might, nonetheless, prevent its progression.
Elevated serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II and IGF binding protein-2 in patients with colorectal cancer
- Medicine, BiologyBritish Journal of Cancer
- 2000
It is concluded that the serum IGF-II and IGFBP-2 profiles may provide insights into underlying biological mechanisms, and that serum IGF BP-2 may have an adjunct role in cancer surveillance in patients with colorectal cancer.
Insulin Resistance, Apoptosis, and Colorectal Adenoma Risk

The results provide novel evidence that elevated insulin and glucose are associated with increased adenoma risk and decreased apoptosis in normal rectal mucosa and suggest that insulin may act early in the adenomas-carcinoma sequence to promote the development of colorectal adenomatous polyps.

A significant positive association between circulating IGF1 levels and risk of advanced colorectal adenoma was shown, suggesting that IGF1 is associated with the pivotal precursor to coloreCTal cancer.

These findings suggest that the IGF-II/Man-6-P receptor may also be involved in development of adenocarcinoma of the colon, and there is rapidly accumulating evidence implicating the IGF system in the development of malignancy of the large bowel.

There is evidence that high levels of circulating IGF‐I and ‐II might be associated with colorectal cancer, though none of these relations reached statistical significance.
Can "big" insulin-like growth factor II in serum of tumor patients account for the development of extrapancreatic tumor hypoglycemia?
- Biology, MedicineThe Journal of clinical investigation
- 1992
Increased bioavailability ofbig IGF II in this complex due to unrestricted capillary passage and enhanced insulin bioactivity of this big IGF II pool provide a continuous increased insulin-like potential available to insulin and type 1 IGF receptors of insulin-sensitive tissues and thus may lead to sustained hypoglycemia.

Inhibition of IGFBP‐3 proteolysis and invasive properties of cancer cells are related in colorectal cancer patients, and elevated amounts of pro‐IGF‐II nor presence of detectable IGFBP-3 protease inhibitors in the circulation could explain the observed suppression of IGF BP‐3 proteins in IGF‐NM patients.
