Abstract

In the cascade of events following the interaction of estrogens with their nuclear receptors in breast cancer cells, some of them are involved in the hormonal stimulation of cell growth. Their identification may improve both our understanding of the mechanism by which tumor growth is controlled and the monitoring and treatment of breast cancer.
