Estrogen mitigates apoptosis by modulating gene expression linked to cell survival and death, thus potentially preventing damaged cells from becoming cancerous.
Estrogen prevents cancer by binding to its receptor, triggering a cascade that promotes the death of damaged cells, thus reducing malignancy risk.
