One possible way to increase the efficacy of therapy is to target drugs to specific molecular components in cancer cells, such as growth factors and their receptors, or proliferation-promoting kinases etc. [13-16] Specific receptors for hypothalamic peptide hormones, including LH-RH, somatostatin and bombesin have been detected in various cancers, and these receptors may serve as targets for the peptide ligand linked to a cytotoxic agent. The gene discussed is GRP; the disease is cancer.
