pathway has also been shown to have an important role in mediating the resistance to cytotoxic drugs and EGFR/HER2-targeted agents. The IGF-1R molecule has been shown to be important in tumor growth and protecting tumor cells from being killed. IGF-1R is over-expressed on a variety of tumors including breast, colon, prostate, lung, skin and pancreatic cancers and is a well validated target for an antibody therapeutic approach.

About Ewing's Sarcoma

The Ewing's family of tumors (EFT) includes primary tumors of bone (classic Ewing's sarcoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and Askin tumor) and extraosseous primary tumors. The estimated incidence of Ewing's sarcoma in the US is approximately 300 new cases per year. More than 50 percent of patients are adolescents with a slight predominance in males. Patients who present with metastatic disease at initial diagnosis have a survival rate of approximately 25 to 30%.
