The production of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-I binding proteins (BPs) by human lung tumour cell lines in vitro has been examined and the levels of these substances in the serum of lung cancer patients investigated. While small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines secreted both IGF-I and BPs, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines secreted BPs only. No evidence of increased serum IGF-I levels was obtained in a cohort of 52 lung cancer patients having SCLC and NSCLC histologies. In contrast, serum levels of low molecular weight BPs were markedly elevated in the majority of lung cancer patients.
