| dc.description.abstract | Breast cancer is major burden worldwide and the majority of breast cancers express
estrogen receptors (ER) suggesting a high dependence on estrogen hormone. Age is among the
major determinants of breast cancer development, however, although Western Kenya is one of the areas with high breast cancer cases, age distribution of ER-positive breast cancer in the sub-region
remains largely undocumented. Differentiation-related gene-1 (DRG1) is a metastasis suppressor
and thus a potential biomarker for predicting level of metastasis but its potential application in
assessing extent of metastasis of ER positive breast cancer has not been fully explored. This study
therefore investigated the age distribution and the potential of expression of DRG1 in assessing
metastasis of ER positive breast cancer. | en_US |
