Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that, after wild-type estrogen receptor (ER) transfection in ER-negative breast cancer cells, estradiol but not tamoxifen prevents growth, invasiveness and metastasis of these cells in mice. Because an ER mutation at position 400 converts the triphenylethylene antiestr...
