Background: Several hormonal factors, as menstrual irregularities, early ovarian maturation and long estrogen stimulation during women's reproductive life, have been pointed out as risk factors in the breast cancer promotion.
Objective: To study the various involved factors during breast cancer evolution.
Material And Methods: Hormonal and reproductive factors were studied in 200 women with breast cancer.
Background: -Na(+)-K+ ATPase is a useful marker which determines the origin of breast cancer cells.
Objective: -Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity, as well as viability of plasma membrane vesicles isolated from breast carcinoma tissues were demonstrated by histochemical detection.
Patients And Method: Breast carcinoma tissue samples of patients who attended consultation in the oncology service at Hospital de Ginecoobstetricia Núm.
