Mechanisms Of Anti-Prolifertative Effect Of Garcinia Hombroniana Essential Oils Leaves In Mcf-7 And Mcf-7/Tamr-1 Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affected women and the incidence rate is increasing yearly throughout the world. Tamoxifen is the first-line chemotherapeutic drug used in treating breast cancer patients. However, gynaecological complications and drug resistance are among the majo...
