The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of a new monoclonal antibody (AER311) that targets the oestrogen receptor (ER) in an immunohistochemical assay (IHA) applied to breast cancers. Ninety-seven cases of invasive ductal carcinoma were studied by AER311-IHA using a pressure-cooking antige

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, 75Β·8
The performance of a fluorescent cytochemical oestrogen receptor (ER) assay has been compared with an established dextran-coated charcoal ER assay in 85 cases of primary breast cancer. Both assays were performed on tissue samples from the same tumour, by independent observers in different laboratori
