RC280.B8.B24.1 - Impact of aging on the biology of breast cancer - Part 1
Christopher Benz, MD
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy; its age-specific incidence profile rises exponentially until menopause and increases more slowly thereafter, reflecting the superimposition of early-onset and late-onset breast cancer rates. Geroscience is still in its infancy. Emergent molecular and cellular hypotheses put forth to explain the cancer-aging relationship are of interest but remain largely untested.

RC280.B8.B24.2 - Impact of aging on the biology of breast cancer - Part 2
Christopher Benz, MD
Initial studies comparing early-onset and late-onset ER-positive breast cancers for DNA mutations and whole genome aberrations as well as RNA transcriptome differences suggest that epigenetic changes rather than genotypic variation account for most of the age-dependent biological and clinical differences observed in hormone-dependent breast cancer.

RC280.B8.M98.1 - Frequently Asked Questions about Tamoxifen
Sharon Mitchell, PharmD, UCSF &  Robert Ignoffo, PharmD, Clinical Professor UCSF
The hormone, estrogen, enters many normal cells including mammary (breast) cells and signals growth and multiplication. In breast cancer, this growth is accelerated. Tamoxifen is an anti-estrogen
