Long-term exposure to beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH) promotes transformation and invasiveness of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

Biochemical pharmacology - 1 Sept 2003

Zou Enmin, Matsumura Fumio

Abstract excerpt

Due to its lipophilicity and persistence, an organochlorine compound, beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH), is known to frequently accumulate in human adipose and breast tissues. An epidemiological study has indicated that exposure to beta-HCH could be one of the significant environmental risk f...
