Another study showed that its prowess against breast and prostate cancer caused a decrease
in breast cancer cell growth and proliferation and to block prostate cancer invasion.
To determine whether endothelial cells — the cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels — directly
influence breast cancer cell growth, they then created unique organotypic models of lung and bone marrow microvascular niches, in which endothelial cells formed blood vessel - like structures in culture as they would in the original organ.
In tests on human breast cancer cells and in special immunodeficient mice with tissue grafts, the scientists found that both agents interfered with genes involved
with breast cancer cell growth, resulting in more cancer cells.
The findings, presented June 15, 2013, at the annual Endocrine Society meeting in San Francisco, indicate that the drug bazedoxifene packs a powerful one - two punch that not only prevents estrogen from
fueling breast cancer cell growth, but also flags the estrogen receptor for destruction.
As a result,
breast cancer cell growth is blocked One study in mice concluded that flaxseed inhibited the growth of human estrogen - dependent breast cancer, and strengthened the tumor - inhibitory effect of tamoxifen.
The same blood that was now coursing through their bloodstream gained the power to significantly slow down, and stop,
breast cancer cell growth — thanks to just two weeks of eating a plant - based diet.
