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
This review presents our experience with the use of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) in the prediction of response to endocrine therapy in stage IV breast cancer. Presence of ER (>3 fmoUmg cytosol protein) significantly predicted response to the antiestrogen tamoxifen and to
