Abstract A11: Cyclin A expression and endocrine resistance in an experimental model of murine mammary carcinomas

Most of human breast cancers are aneuploid because of chromosome missegregation occurring during mitosis. Deregulation in the control of cell cycle progression is frequently found in mammary carcinomas and is associated with mitotic spindle checkpoint defects and aneuploidy. The Laboratory of Hormonal Carcinogenesis has developed an experimental model of mammary carcinomas by the administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) to BALB/c...
