The expression of oestrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and androgen (AR) receptors in female breast cancer was investigated by immunohistochemistry on snap-frozen tissue specimens of a series of I00 breast cancers. For detection of the AR we used a recently developed mouse monoclonal antibody specific

As oestrogen is associated with most of the epidemiological risk factors for breast cancer, the number and distribution of oestrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells could have a bearing on the development of the disease. ER+ cells were thus studied in the normal breast and in the spectrum of in situ p
Histological sections obtained from 70 patients with breast cancer, all of whom had received endocrine therapy for metastatic or locally advanced disease, were assessed for specific immunocytochemical staining of oestrogen receptor and the oestrogen-induced protein pS2. There was also sufficient mat
Abstract The prognostic significance of the tumour activities of 2 steroid receptors, those for oestrogen (ER) and for progestogen (PgR), has been studied in 372 patients with breast cancer, in whom follow-up was available for 2-6 years (median 41 months). Of 252 patients with operable disease, 75ยท8
