RT Journal Article T1 Calcium Homeostasis in the Development of Resistant Breast Tumors. A1 Martin-García, Desirée A1 Téllez-Santana, Teresa A1 Redondo-Bautista, Maximino A1 García Aranda, Marilina K1 Mamas - Cáncer K1 Calcio - Uso terapéutico - Ensayos AB Cancer is one of the main health problems worldwide. Only in 2020, this disease caused more than 19 million new cases and almost 10 million deaths, with breast cancer being the most diagnosed worldwide. Today, despite recent advances in breast cancer treatment, a significant percentage of patients will either not respond to therapy or will eventually experience lethal progressive disease. Recent studies highlighted the involvement of calcium in the proliferation or evasion of apoptosis in breast carcinoma cells. In this review, we provide an overview of intracellular calcium signaling and breast cancer biology. We also discuss the existing knowledge on how altered calcium homeostasis is implicated in breast cancer development, highlighting the potential utility of Ca2+ as a predictive and prognostic biomarker, as well as its potential for the development of new pharmacological treatments to treat the disease.
