The first studies of oestrogen receptor (ER) focused on measurements of levels in breast cancers and relationship to hormonal response, but the introduction of antibodies which can be used on fixed tissue has meant that ER can be studied in detail in normal and precancerous tissue. Cloning and seque
As oestrogen is associated with most of the epidemiological risk factors for breast cancer, the number and distribution of oestrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells could have a bearing on the development of the disease. ER+ cells were thus studied in the normal breast and in the spectrum of in situ p
We have examined the relative levels of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ€) mRNA in 94 breast cancer specimens using a semi-quantitative RT-PCR procedure. We correlated its expression with ERβ£ and various clinical, pathological and biochemical features of the disease. The level of ERβ€ mRNA expression in t
