Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is frequently overexpressed in human breast cancers. It is known to drive tumor growth and progression and represents a prominent target in breast cancer therapy. The endothelin (ET) system, in particular ET-1 and its receptor ET A R, is of major relev

## Abstract Although tamoxifen (TAM) is used for the frontโline treatment and prevention of estrogen receptorโpositive (ER+) breast tumors, nearly 40% of estrogenโdependent breast tumors do not respond to TAM treatment. Moreover, the positive response is usually of short duration, and most tumors e
## Abstract ErbB2 is overexpressed in approximately 30% of breast cancer patients with a correlation to poor prognosis. ErbB2 has been identified as a useful receptor for molecular targeting. A cyclic 20 amino acid phage display random peptide library was constructed using the fUSE5 gene III system
