Inhibition of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1r) is an approach being taken in clinical trials to overcome the dismal outcome for metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), an aggressive muscle cancer of children and young adults. In our study, we address the potential mechanism(s) of Igf1r inhibitor resistance that might be anticipated for patients. Using a genetically engineered mouse model of ARMS, validated for active Igf1r signaling, we show that the prototypic Igf1r inhibi ...[more]
