Core Tip	Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), are frequently overexpressed in many types of tumors including colorectal cancer. A recent study (Bj?rndahl et al, 2003) showed that both IGF-1 and IGF-2 could potently stimulate lymphatic vessel growth in the mouse cornea. However, equivalent evidence on IGF-1 in solid tumors is lacking. Here, we show that IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling induces tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis in vivo and contributes to lymphatic metastasis of colorectal cancer. Findings from the present study provide further evidence to support the involvement of IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling in lymphangiogenesis in solid tumors.
