Quantitative estrogen receptor (ER) values in patients with breast carcinoma were correlated with the natural history of the disease before surgical intervention. The natural history was expressed as an index of growth. This was determined as a ratio between tumor size (centimeters) and duration of
The predictive value of the estrogen receptor (ER) assay with regard to the response to hormonal treatment was analyzed in women with advanced breast carcinoma. The significance of ten clinical variables of putative prognostic value was also investigated. A total of 49 courses of endocrine therapy w
