Breast cancer represents one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Apart from genetic factors, the sex hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in breast cancer development. We are exposed to a plethora of estrogen mimics on a daily basis via various routes. Nevertheless, how xenoestrogens, the exogenous estrogen mimics, modulate cancer-associated signaling pathways and interact with specific genes is still underexplored. Hence, this study aims to explore the direct or indirect binding partners of xenoestrogens and their expression upon exposure to these estrogenic compounds.
