Evidence of a modifying influence of heart glucosides on the development of breast cancer

B Stenkvist et al. Anal Quant Cytol. 1980 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Patients on digitalis medication at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer seem to develop tumors that have a lower growth potential than do patients not on such medication. These tumors are photometrically characterized by small nuclei with lower DNA-RNA content and less variation in morphometric characteristics.
