Abstract excerpt
Estrogen (E) inhibits the growth of both non-tumorigenic, immortal human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) and breast cancer cells which stably express exogenous estrogen receptors (ER). The anti-estrogenic compounds 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (HT) and ICI 164384 (ICI) have different effects on the growth...
