"For those of us who have labored in the field of hormonal carcinogenesis, it has been most gratifying to see its rapid growth and increasing relevance in recent years. Although many factors and forces have contributed to this phenomenon, a few appear particularly significant. Perhaps foremost is the realization that two of the most prevalent cancers which afflict women and men; that is, breast and prostate, have essential hormonal compo ..."
"This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Hormonal Carcinogenesis, July 4 - 9, 1994, Stockholm, Sweden. In the last five years, there has been a marked resurgence of public awareness and research interest in the field of hormonal carcinogenesis. This is largely a result of the widespread use of therapeutic hormonal agents and the causal association of hormones and a variety of human cancers including: ..."

"AntiEstrogens". Sophie Dauvois and Malcolm G. Parker Introduction The
estrogen receptor belongs to a large family of nuclear receptors whose activity as
a transcription factor depends on the binding of a hormonal ligand (1). As with
other steroid receptors, in the absence of ligand the estrogen receptor is found in
an oligomeric complex that is unable to bind to DNA (2-4). Following hormone
binding, the complex is dissociated to al ..."

"In the past decade there has been a growing public interest and resurgence in research in the field of hormonal carcinogenesis. This is due to the widespread use of therapeutic hormonal agents worldwide and to the increasing awareness of the causal association of hormones, both endogenous and exogenously administered, and a variety of human cancers. These associations include estrogens in uterine, cervical, v ..."
