Toxicol Appl Pharmacol
. 2015 May;
287(1):26-34.
PMID: 26006730
Cadmium (Cd) is a common environmental toxicant and an established carcinogen. Epidemiological studies implicate Cd with human breast cancer. Low micromolar concentrations of Cd promote proliferation of human breast cancer...

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol
. 2010 Feb;
245(1):83-90.
PMID: 20153348
Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential metal that is dispersed throughout the environment. It is an endocrine-disrupting element which mimics estrogen, binds to estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), and promotes cell proliferation...
