Carcinoma of the breast is a leading hormone-dependent malignancy, resulting in a high rate of morbidity and mortality. During the complex multi-step process of tumor promotion, this common cancer is initiated as hormone-responsive (HR), non-metastatic cancer, followed by a gradual transition into a

The matrix-degrading enzyme family of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been implicated in the process of tumour metastasis. Cellular protein and RNA localisation techniques have been used to show that, whilst several MMP genes are expressed in both cancer and stromal cells, stromelysin 3 is expr
We investigated the immunomodulatory effect of cyclophosphamide on the induction of suppressor cell activities in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The sera from advanced breast cancer patients as well as concanavalin-A (Con-A) induced suppressor cell activities in lymphocytes from healthy volunteers. P
## Abstract The antineoplastic agent doxorubicin inhibits cell growth through mechanisms that include an interaction with iron, resulting in the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Prior studies have shown that the wildβtype hemochromatosis gene (wt HFE) may downregulate iron upt
## Abstract The incidence of hormoneβrelated diseases such as prostatic, breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer is lower in Asian populations compared to Western countries. High consumption of soybean products that are rich in phytoestrogens, predominantly genistein, is postulated to be responsibl
Development of anti-estrogen resistance limits the benefit of endocrine therapy of breast cancer. The mechanistic basis for resistance to the anti-estrogen tamoxifen may involve (epi)genetic alterations within tumor cells. We have initiated a random search for genes allowing estrogen-dependent ZR-75
