Angiotensin-(1-7) for the treatment of breast cancer.

Scientists have found that angiotensin-(1-7) inhibits the cancer producing fibroblasts (cells that cause the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells) and breast cancer cells. It also decreases the supply of blood vessels to the growing tumor. Estrogen-receptor and HER2 sensitive are two types of breast cancer cells.
