Deciphering the Roles of Estrogen Receptors and 27-Hydroxycholesterol in BC Progression
Abstract: Breast cancer (BC) ranks among the top causes of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Many risk factors of BC are linked to estrogen. Experiments of Beatson in 1896 show the role of steroid hormones as major determinant in BC. Action of steroid hormones is mediated by their receptors including Estrogen receptors (ERs).
