Abstract

Glucocorticoids (GCs)are widely used for the management of disease- or therapy-related complications in cancer patients. Recent data indicate that activation of GC receptors (GRs)precipitates breast cancer progression by favoring metastatic dissemination and cell survival at distant sites. These findings call for the re-evaluation of GC usage in patients with cancer.
