Özet

Objective: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of nonproliferating and mature-appearing B lymphocytes. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a small peptide hormone and has mitogenic and antiapoptotic effects, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) has antiproliferative effects on cells. In this study, we investigated plasma levels of both IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in patients with CLL compared with controls, and we compared these plasma levels according to prognostic factors.
