Human breast tumour-induced osteolysis and prostaglandins

M Dowsett et al. Prostaglandins. 1976 Mar.

Abstract

Osteolysis effected in vitro by breast carcinomas can be inhibited by aspirin. Some prostaglandins stimulate in vitro bone resorption. Our results indicate that whilst osteolytically active PGE and PGF are released by the carcinomas in most cases, some other osteolytic principle is released as well.
