The organochlorine pesticide, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), which is fat-soluble and persistent in the body and environment, has estrogenic activity. There has been an apparent association with breast cancer, which has implicated DDT binding with estrogen receptors (ERs). The mechanism of DDT...
Describe how oncogenes affect the development of neoplastic cells. What are the functions of proto-oncogenes, oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes? What is/are the role/s of environmental biotechnology in development and sustainability? What is osteomalacia and how does it develop? What ...
In this lesson learn the definition of testosterone, how it is produced in the body and different types of therapy treatments. Afterwards, take a...
(meaning the tumor cells have estrogen receptors and can use the hormone to grow, the mayo clinic says ), which accounted for 76 percent of all cancers in the study, was similar to the overall results of the study. on the other hand, although er-negative cancer cases also peaked in the...

Breast cancer is caused by a mutation in a breast tissue cell that causes the cell to divide uncontrollably. There are many different subtypes of breast cancers and many ways to classify them. One way to classify breast cancers is by the biological markers which include estrogen receptor, ...
Another challenge is the tumor microenvironment. Cancer cells "hijack" the normal cells in this microenvironment to sustain cell growth. The tumor microenvironment shapes tumor behavior. Certain cells in this environment can shield cancer cells from therapies, making treatment less effective. ...

If, however, the cancer cells are negative for both estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR), these hormone drugs will not be effective. Furthermore, if the cancer cells are HER2−, medications that target HER2 receptors cannot be used. HR+ breast cancer tends to have a better prognosis ...
