Effect of SSRI exposure on the proliferation rate and glucose uptake in breast and ovary cancer cell lines

Abstract Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy amongst women worldwide while ovarian cancer represents the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies. Women suffering from these cancers displayed heightened rates of major depressive disorder, and antidepressant treatment with s...
