## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HERβ1, and __erbB__1) is overexpressed in primary breast cancer and had been identified as a poor prognostic factor. ## METHODS. Pretreatment serum EGFR levels were quantified by using an enzymeβlinked immunoadsorbent assay in a
The presence of epidermal growth factor, estrogen, and progesterone receptors (EGFR, ER, and PR) was investigated by a competitive binding assay in 43 colorectal adenocarcinomas and 32 normal colorectal mucosa specimens. EGFR were expressed in most of the tumor specimens analyzed at levels comparabl
