The expression and critical roles of proteoglycans (PGs) in hormone-dependent cancer. PGs are expressed at the cell membrane and cytosol of cancer and stroma cells and secreted to the extracellular matrix (ECM). They contribute to the structure of cancer tissues, e.g., the regulation of tissue density and affect the activities of growth factors and hormones.
