✦ Synopsis

The records of all patients undergoing breast surgery at one institution over a 6-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-two cases were found to meet the criteria for designation as medullary carcinoma of the breast. Estrogen receptor assay was performed in 20 cases and was negative in 75 % of these patients; those with positive estrogen receptor asssay had very low values. Progesterone receptor assay was performed in 10 of these patients and was found to be negative in 9. The one positive value was very low. Medullary carcinoma of the breast, in spite of a generally favorable prognosis, shows a consistent relationship with negative hormonal receptors.

## 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
