New GHRH Antagonist Blocks Cancer Cell Growth Signaling in Prostate, Breast, and Lung

evidence
The takeaway

A novel GHRH antagonist inhibited cell proliferation and key cancer signaling pathways (MAPK, Akt, GSK-3β) in prostate, breast, and lung cancer cell lines — comprehensive anticancer mechanism through GH-axis blockade.
