✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The tumours of 61 patients suffering from primary adenocarcinoma of the breast were assayed for oestrogen receptors (ER), using the dextran-coated charcoal method. A statistically significant relationship (P < 0.05) was found to exist between ER status and the histological grade of the tumour. No relationship was found between ER status and either tumour size or the pathological state of the axillary lymph nodes. It is concluded that it is a practical proposition to establish an ER assay service in a district general hospital, with subsequent benefits for the individual patient.
