Excerpt

Human invasive breast cancers (IBCs) are categorized in many ways, including on the basis of whether the tumour cells express oestrogen receptor (ER)-α. ER status is important clinically because ER mediates the growth-stimulating effects of circulating oestrogen and because tumours expressing ER have a significant chance of responding to hormonal therapies such as tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors [1]. …
