pubmed-article:1588380 | pubmed:abstractText | We have shown previously that acquired tamoxifen resistance in an in vivo experimental model is associated with reduced tamoxifen accumulation, isomerization of trans-4-hydroxytamoxifen, and tamoxifen-stimulated tumor growth. The purpose of this study is to isolate and verify the presence of estrogenic tamoxifen metabolites in human breast tumors using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass-spectrometry (MS) techniques. | lld:pubmed |
