Role of c-myc in Tamoxifen-Induced Apoptosis in Estrogen-Independent Breast Cancer Cells
6 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) is effective in the treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive as well as some ER-negative breast cancers. However, the precise mechanism of action of TAM, especially in estrogen-independent cells, remains unclear. Previous work by our laboratory has demonstrated that TAM induces the morphologic and biochemical changes that are characteristic of apoptosis in both...
