Although estrogen can promote the growth of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers, high doses of estrogen can have the paradoxical effect of promoting tumor regression in postmenopausal women. To investigate the mechanism of tumor regression, Song et al. (p. 1714) made use of LTED, E8CASS, and BSK3 cells, which are MCF-7 breast cancer cells grown for many months in the absence of estrogen. LTED cells treated with high doses of estradiol showed decreased cell growth and increased apoptosis. Identically treated MCF-7 cells, by contrast, grew at increased rates and showed reduced apoptosis.
