Oestrogens impact colorectal cancer (CRC) development and proliferation. Biologically active oestrogens, oestrone (E1) and oestradiol (E2), are metabolised through hydrolysis of their sulfated forms (oestrone sulfate (E1S) and oestradiol sulfate) by steroid sulfatase (STS). We have shown that increased STS activity drives CRC proliferation via oestrogen hydrolysis. We have also identified that CRC expresses the necessary organic anion transport...
