The ability to detect estrogen and progesterone receptors by immunocytochemical analysis in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections has clear advantages over other techniques, including the ability to assay small biopsy specimens, fine needle aspirate samples, and archival material.

Analysis of estrogen receptor protein (ERP) was carried out on 784 patients with primary breast carcinomas. Significant relationships were found with the following epidemiologic features; age at diagnosis, menstrual status, race, and use of exogenous hormones (contraceptive and menopausal estrogens)
Evaluation of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptor content is now an important procedure in the management of breast cancer patients. Production of monoclonal antibodies to ER and PR has permitted development of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and immunocytochemical assay (ICA). This study compa
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Observational studies and randomized trials have demonstrated that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases the recipient's risk of developing breast carcinoma. Because it is known that some breast malignancies are hormonally responsive and that others are not, it has
## BACKGROUND. The techniques for immunostaining estrogen receptor (ER) in cytologic specimens have varied, as have the detection rates. The authors compared various fixation methods for their effect on ER detection in cytologic smears of breast carcinoma. ## METHODS. Smears were prepared by ge
