In biology and medicine, growth factors are intercellular signaling peptides and proteins that are "regulatory proteins and peptides that are signaling molecules involved in the process of paracrine communication. They are generally considered factors that are expressed by one cell and are responded to by receptors on another nearby cell. They are distinguished from hormones in that their actions are local rather than distal."[1]
| Growth factor | Chemotherapeutic agent | Malignancy |
|---|---|---|
| Anaplastic lymphoma kinase | Crizotinib | Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma ALK-positive non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) |
| Angiogenic proteins | Bevacizumab | Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) Breast cancer Colorectal cancer |
| Endothelial growth factors | ||
| Epidermal growth factor | Cetuximab Erlotinib |
Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) Pancreatic cancer |
| Fibroblast growth factors | ||
| Nerve growth factor | ||
| Somatomedins | ||
| Tumor necrosis factors | ||
| Vascular endothelial growth factors |
