Propofol Effects in Breast Cancer Cell Progression: Evidences from In Vitro Studies

Effects of the Hypnotic Alkylphenol Derivative Propofol on Breast Cancer Progression. A Focus on Preclinical and Clinical Studies

“…Several in vitro studies performed on different cancer cell lines showed that due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, propofol may restrain the expansion of cancer cells through the modulation of different signaling pathways (8). Conversely, because other preclinical studies showed that this compound may promote breast cancer cell progression, the matter remains not completely dissected.…”
