植物雌激素与雌激素受体β对乳腺癌作用的研究进展

The Research Progress of Phytoestrogen and Estrogen Receptor β in Breast Cancer

植物雌激素及雌激素受体β（estrogenreceptoraβ，ERβ）与乳腺癌关系密切，植物雌激素与ERβ的亲和力远远高于ERα，虽然对此结论有争议，但仍为研究植物雌激素相关中药对乳腺癌的作用机制及探索中医理论的实质提供了思路。

Phytoestrogens （PEs） and estrogen receptor β（ERβ） have close relationship with breast cancer. PEs preferentially binds to ERβ rather than ERos. Although there are still some arguments, it provides a new though for researching the mechanism of Phytoestrogen-containing herbs on breast cancer and exploring the essence of TCM theory.
