โฆ Synopsis
Estrogen receptor protein (ERP) content and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) positivity were analysed in 50 cases of primary breast carcinoma. Relationship of pathological features known to be of prognostic significance and combined CEA and ERP status were examined. It was found that CEA + ERPtumours had significantly higher frequency of axillary lymphnodal metastasis in comparison to CEA -ERP + cases. Presence of CEA -or ERP + status showed significant lower frequency of metastasis in comparison to CEA + ERPtumours.
