One in five people with lung cancer has small-cell lung cancer. Previous research has shown that these tumor cells grow faster because they are fueled by a growth hormone called FGF-2. As a result the disease has a poor long-term survival rate because the tumors spread quickly.
A study published this week in the journal Cancer Research, examined a drug called PD173074 which blocks the receptor that FGF-2 uses to attach to tumor cells. When given to mice with the disease, the drug eliminated tumors in 50% of cases.
