LR3 IGF-1's effect on existing cancer?

[vorlonken]

Carcinoid is an uncommon cancer that is famous for being very slow growing. I had a tumor in my lung removed in 1979 but around 1992 found it had spread before the removal - pretty much everywhere. HOWEVER, I've been living with it without effective treatment ever since then. (Radiation therapy and experimental chemo had no effect on shrinking the tumor.)

Growth from year to year is virtually unmeasurable, but now I've learned about LR3 IGF-1 and I'm very interested in using it to boost my progress in the gym. Is it known whether or not LR3 IGF-1 will accelerate the growth rate of existing tumors? At the current rate of growth chances are I'll die of old age, not cancer. I prefer to keep it that way.

I have read a few places that it does accelerate the growth rate of tumors.
Here is one of the links that I have found some info at.

typically there is a risk of accelerated growth no matter what you take.

Thanks for pointing out that article. I had googled on the topic and got a bunch of hits on medical papers, but none of them really addressed my question.
