GHRH Antagonists Inhibit Ovarian Cancer Growth: Blocking the Growth Hormone Axis Fights Cancer

evidence
The takeaway

Growth hormone-releasing hormone antagonists inhibited human ovarian cancer growth through multiple mechanisms — direct antiproliferative, reduced IGF-1 signaling, and apoptosis induction — adding ovarian cancer to GHRH antagonist targets.
