TL;DR: The data presented here demonstrate that those patients whose tumors highly expressed ENO-1 had a poor prognosis with greater tumor size, poor nodal status, and a shorter disease-free interval, and suggest that downregulation of ENo-1 could be utilized as a novel pharmacological approach for overcoming 4-OHT resistance in breast cancer therapy.
