Sucrose gradient centrifugation of estrogen and progestin receptors in cytosol preparations revealed that the majority of human breast tumors contained two molecular forms sedimenting at either 8s or 4s. Few tumors exhibited profiles containing predominately the 8.9 form or the 4s form alone. Molecu

## Abstract Estrogen receptors (ER) were measured on specimens taken from 27 patients with benign breast conditions and 109 patients with breast cancer. Using sucrose gradient assay, 15% (4/27) of benign lesions and 56% (61/109) of malignant tumors were estrogen receptorβpositive (ERβpositive means
The determination of steroid receptors in human breast cancers has assumed increasing importance over the past several decades. Improper handling of the specimens could affect results obtained. This study details the effects excessive levels of heat that occur with the use of electrocautery can have
