Isomer, one of two or more compounds that have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of the atoms within the molecules and that may have different physical/chemical properties. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It`s possible to deduce that, all-trans RA specifically displayed the most significant suppression of cancer cell growth over the other isomers. While all-trans RA showed stronger suppression of cancer cell growth than the other isomers in ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cell line similar to the effect on the ER-positive MCF-7 cell line, it produced a higher cell survival rate than that of 9-cis RA in ER-positive MCF-7cell line. It has been reported that breast cancer is closely related to the influence of hormones and cancer cell growth shows significant differences depending on the protein binding affinity of hormone receptors (Hara et al., 2000; Marill et al., 2003; Napoli, 1996; Ott
