Potential Tumor Suppressor Role for the c-Myb Oncogene in Luminal Breast Cancer
7 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor c-Myb has been well characterized as an oncogene in several human tumor types, and its expression in the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell population is essential for proper hematopoiesis. However, the role of c-Myb in mammopoeisis and breast tumorigenesis is poorly understood, despite its high expression in the majority of breast cancer cases (60-80%). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL...
