Advances in Rapid Sex-Steroid Action New Challenges and New Chances in Breast and Prostate Cancers /

Rapid actions of sex steroids play a critical role in mediating the biological outcome of target tissues. This book reviews the importance of these non-genomic effects in initiation and progression of breast and prostate cancers. Particular emphasis is placed on discussing how rapid steroid actions...
