Prolactin is a multifunctional hormone produced by the pituitary gland, essential for more than just the growth of mammary tissue. It plays a crucial role in lobuloalveolar development and lactation. Understanding multifunctional hormone, prolactin, and its role in breast tissue is a promising avenue in our fight against breast cancer. This paper aims to shed light on the physiological mechanisms of prolactin in breast cancer, its prognostic value, and potential therapeutic approaches, offering a significant step forward in our battle against this disease.
催乳素是一种由垂体分泌的多功能激素,其作用远不止于乳腺组织的生长。它在小叶腺泡发育和泌乳过程中起着关键作用。了解多功能激素催乳素及其在乳腺组织中的作用,是我们对抗乳腺癌的一条充满希望的途径。本文旨在阐明催乳素在乳腺癌中的生理机制、其预后价值及潜在的治疗方法,为我们对抗这种疾病迈出重要的一步。
