Deguelin action involves c-Met and EGFR signaling pathways in triple negative breast cancer cells.

<h4>Background</h4>Treatment of breast cancer patients with antiestrogens and aromatase inhibitor(s) or Herceptin have shown significant success in steroid receptor positive or Her-2+ breast cancers respectively. However, choice of treatments for breast cancer patients with negative stat...
