Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of synthetic organic chlorine compounds known as an organic pollutant in food sources, which play important roles in malignancies. The present study aimed to investigate the direct effects of prevalent PCBs in food in hormone-responsive and non-responsive cell lines.
