## Abstract In several epidemiological studies, a phytoestrogenβrich diet containing lignans and isoflavones is associated with reduced breast cancer risk, but experimental findings are controversial. In postmenopausal mammary cancer xenograft model, flaxseed (FS), a rich source of plant lignans, r
Background. Influence of tamoxifen treatment on estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels in human breast cancer has not been fully elucidated in vivo. This problem was studied in 20 postmenopausal patients with ER-positive and PR-positive primary breast cancer. Each patient unde
Transforming growth factor-β€1 (TGF-β€1) is a cytokine expressed by mammary cells. While TGF-β€1 can inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer cells, many cell lines are unresponsive to it. To shed light on the mechanisms underlying resistance to TGF-β€1, we examined expression of the mediators o
