Abstract excerpt
The irregular response to progestins directly in tumor growth might be caused by dominant negative progesterone receptor (PR) mutants and the damage to PR-A expression. Progestin treatment as an anti-angiogenic therapy would be less effective in the PR-mutated tumors. Therefore, various anti-angiogenic inhibitors must be used in progestin-refractory and progestin-dependent tumors.
