In some tumors, defects in mismatch repair enzymes lead to errors in the replication of simple nucleotide repeat segments RER+ tumors. This condition is commonly known as microsatellite instability (MSI) because of the frequent mutations of microsatellite sequences. Although the MSI phenotype is wel

The identification of steroid receptors in human breast cancer tissues has provided biochemical markers to predict hormone responsiveness. Analysis of tumors from 328 patients for the estrogen receptor protein (ERP) revealed significant levels in 225 patients (68%). Fifty-five patients with advanced
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
