Breast cancer presents as either estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) positive or negative, with ERalpha+ tumors responding to antiestrogen therapy and having a better prognosis. By themselves, mRNA expression signatures of estrogen regulation in ERalpha+ breast cancer cells do not account for the vast molecular differences observed between ERalpha+ and ERalpha- cancers. In ERalpha- tumors, overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or c-erbB-2, leading to increased growth factor sig ...[more]
