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 front‐line treatment and prevention of estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+) breast tumors, nearly 40% of estrogen‐dependent breast tumors do not respond to TAM treatment. Moreover, the positive response is usually of short duration, and most tumors e
## Abstract We have reported that nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) inhibits the tyrosine kinase activities of the IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1R) and the HER2 receptor in breast cancer cells. Herein, we studied the effects of NDGA on the growth of estrogen receptor (ER) positive MCF‐7 cells engineered to o
