“In addition, a synergistic antitumor effect of submaximal doses of OCT and tamoxifen was observed in MCF-7 tumor in vivo as well as in ER-positive breast carcinoma cell lines (MCF-7 and ZR-75-1) in vitro.”
“These results indicate that OCT suppresses the growth of ER-negative as well as ER-positive breast carcinoma in vivo without causing hypercalcemia and that the antitumor effect of OCT can be enhanced by tamoxifen in an ER-positive tumor.”
