Approximately 70% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor alpha (ERa)-positive.Drugs that target the estrogen receptor have been a mainstay of breast cancer treatment for nearly 50 years, yet many of the signaling pathways that underlie such treatments remain undiscovered or not fully explored.This especially pertains to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen, which remains an important agent in the treatment of ERa-positive breast cancer.Tamoxifen is the major drug used for early stage and advanced premenopausal Era positive breast cancer and for prevention of breast cancer in both younger and older women at high risk for developing the disease.Tamoxifen blocks the action of the estrogen, thereby impeding tumor cell proliferation and slowing cancer cell growth.However, there are certain subsets of patients who are not responsive to tamoxifen, either prior to or post treatment; this condition is known as tamoxifen-resistance.However, the mechanisms underlying tamoxifen-resistance are not clearly understood.A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying resistance will provide rationale for developing new therapeutic agents.

化疗在肿瘤治疗中是不可缺少的手段，但由于化疗药物毒性及非选择性，常对患者造成很大损害，奥沙利铂等化疗药物所致神经毒性，给患者带来很大困扰，严重的神经毒性常使患者面临减低化疗药物剂量甚至停药的情况。2006.1-2009.1本科对于应用奥沙利铂出现周围神经毒性20例患者给予癌复康1号联合化疗进行治疗，本文现将诊治过程进行总结报告，并从中医学的角度讨论了奥沙利铂的毒理损害，以及癌复康1号的药理。
