We have carried out a quantitative analysis of ER-alpha and ER-beta mRNA expression in normal (n = 11) and breast cancer (n = 112) tissues using a real-time (Taq-Man) PCR assay. Expression of ER-beta mRNA variants has also been studied by triple-primer PCR assay. ER-alpha mRNA levels in normal breas
It is fairly well accepted that the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) identifies those breast cancer patients with a lower risk of relapse and better overall survival [Clark and McGuire, 19881, and the measurement of ER has become a standard assay in the clinical management of breast cancer. Recept
