| Research Abstract |
In the United States, THC has been used as medicine for patients suffering from heavy pan. We investigated whether or not THC, having a structure resembling estrogen, can affect estrogen-induced breast cancer progression. Although the action of estrogen was interfered with THC, in the low estrogen condition, breast cancer cell growth was stimulated by THC. Thus, it is suggested that there is an interaction between THC and estrogen, and that the action of THC might be influenced by the estrogen contents in the breast tissues.
