✦ Synopsis
A preliminary investigation into prolactin receptors in human breast carcinomas provided strong evidence that specific binding of prolactin was occurring in at least three of the nine specimens examined (eight human breast carcinomas and one scalp metastasis). These "prolactin receptor positive" tumors were all from premenopausal patients. Three of the tumors of postmenopausal women also suggested the occurrence of specific prolactin binding but, as saturation of the receptors had not been achieved in these assays, the results require confirmation. Some general trends in the binding characteristics of the tumors of premenopausal and postmenopausal patients were also observed.

## Background: Expression of 67 kd laminin binding protein, 67lr, is reported to be associated with invasive and metastatic phenotypes in several types of human malignancies. in mammary carcinomas, however, the biologic role of 67lr has been less clear. the authors explored the potential biologic s
FGFs, especially FGF7, are thought to play an important role in the stroma-epithelium interactions that take place in several tissues, including the prostate and mammary glands. Using an immunohistochemistry approach, FGF7 protein expression was measured in a series of 80 human breast carcinomas. FG
