Abstract
Various aspects of the present invention relate to a method of treating cancer in a subject having cancer cells, wherein the cancer cells possess at least one growth hormone receptor, and wherein the method includes controlling an action of the growth hormone receptor. In various non-limiting embodiments, controlling an action of the growth hormone receptor may occur via knock down of the growth hormone receptor, or may be caused by inhibiting growth hormone action, such as via the use of antibodies directed against growth hormone or the growth hormone receptor. Methods may also relate to administering an antagonist of the growth hormone receptor, and administering at least one anti-tumor drug in concert with administration of the antagonist. Another aspect may include a method of maintaining an anti-tumor drug in cancer cells of a subject by controlling an action of at least one growth hormone receptor in the cancer cells.
