Abstract
The present invention relates to a combination of peptides that may be used for treatment of cancer. The peptide combination competes for the binding of specific neuropeptides at the plasma membrane and thereby alters the levels of key intracellular molecules implicated in cell proliferation, resulting in a broad spectrum of anticancer activity. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a combination of such peptide analogs.
