Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Invasive margins of liver metastases were stained highly by both IGF-2 (70%) and IGF-1R (83%). Overexpression of IGF-2 protein and mRNA was observed in the normal liver adjacent to the tumor. The PCNA labeling indices (LIs) of the IGF-2 positive groups were significantly higher than those of the IGF-2 negative group (P < 0.0001). In addition, the PCNA LIs for the IGF-1R positive groups also were significantly higher than those for the IGF-1R negative group (P=0.0002). CONCLUSIONS:
