Research findings claim that Tamoxifen, which is used to treat the disease, is also one of the best ways to prevent it and can lower the chance of developing cancer by up to 50 percent in women with high risks. For women who typically take tamoxifen for about 5 years, its benefits may...
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) – This is a medication that is used to stimulate ovulation in women. It can also be used to lower estrogen levels in men. Tamoxifen (nolvadex) – This is a medication that is used to treat breast cancer. It can also be used to lower estrogen levels in men....
Doxorubicin, one of the most common drugs used to treat breast cancer, is an anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, a class of drugs known to be affected by hypoxia. Accordingly, we examined whether expression of the endogenous hypoxia marker carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is predictive of outcome...
Tamoxifen: It is an anti-estrogen medicine that's used to treat some types of tumors, such as breast cancer. Studies have been done using this for Peyronie's disease, but it may not work better than a placebo (also known as a sugar pill). ...
Hormone therapyis often used as adjuvant therapy, typically for five years, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. It is also sometimes used as neoadjuvant therapy.8 Drugs that block estrogen receptors include:8 Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)like tamoxifen and toremifene ...
Importantly, sequencing studies have found few recurrent inactivating mutations in the NF1 GAP domain, leading us to speculate that NF1 protein may harbor additional negative regulatory functions relevant to breast cancer pathogenesis. NF1 Depletion Promotes Tamoxifen Agonism and E2 Hypersensitivity in ER...
The molecular profile of paracancerous tissue has been reported to be prognostic for recurrence in patients with different cancers. This study investigated the clinical significance of the protein expression of gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase 1 (BBOX1) in tumor and paracancerous tissues of hepatocellula...
cancer and, in order to find the optimal cutoffs for cyclin A, cyclin B and Ki-67, we used a previously described method.20 Briefly, the material was divided into 10 equal parts, so-called deciles, and the cutoff values corresponding to each decile limit were used to separate the ...

Endometrial cancer has increased by over 40% in the United Kingdom since 1993, to an incidence of 7536 in 2007 and 1741 deaths in 2008. (Cancer Research UK, 2010) This increase is attributed to increased life expectancy, tamoxifen use and obesity (Bray et al, 2005). Endometrial cancer ...
