Abstract

Gonadotropin-releasing hormoen (Gn-RH) analogs have been used in the therapy of the endocrine-dependent cancers including the repductive tract-originated tumors. Gn-RH receptor and its transmembrane signaling pathways have been demonstrated in a high proportion of these tumors. The demonstration of existence of receptors for a hormone can better predict hormonal dependency, and might be a first step towards an effective hormonal treatment. These findings suggest the merit of further therapeutic investigations of Gn-RH analogs alone or in combination with traditional therapies in the management of Gn-RH receptor-positive tumors.
