Abstract

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease in which many factors and receptors are effective in the disease process and response to treatment. Currently, estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors are among the most important factors in choosing a treatment regimen. Other metabolic factors that may affect the treatment outcome include diabetes and hyperinsulinemia. In order to evaluate the role and complexity of cross-talk between different pathways initiating from various receptors, value the most common drugs in the treatment of breast cancer are investigated on different cell lines in this manuscript at the cell culture level. The result of different doses of Tamoxifen and estradiol on the cells with various levels of the estrogenic, progesterone, and HER2 receptors is examined alone, or in combinations, and the presence or absence of insulin. The effects of these variables on the cells’ growth pattern and survival in various breast cancer cells are investigated using cell counting, colony counting, and MTT assays. Our results have further confirmed the complexity of deciding on the outcome of treatment for breast cancer with such a wide variability in the kind of receptors and biochemical agents present in the body of a cancer patient.
