title: 20-Epi-vitamin D3 analogs. Potent modulators of proliferation and differentiation of breast cancer cell lines in vitro.
abstract: Breast cancer is a devastating disease. New approach in therapy are needed. In this chapter, we describe our efforts to identify novel vitamin D3 analogs which may have a potent antiproliferative effect on breast cancer without causing hypercalcemia.
