Estrogen receptors in breast tumors were assayed in 55 premenopausal women undergoing bilateral oophorectomy and in 120 postmenopausal women undergoing bilateral adrenalectomy for treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The data show that 20 (60%) of the 32 patients with estrogen receptor-positive (E
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
Stage, estrogen receptor status, treatment and survival of 29 men with breast cancer attending the Breast Clinic of the Johannesburg Hospital between 1976 and 1985 are reviewed. Most patients had locoregionally advanced disease at presentation. Estrogen receptors (ER) were detected in significant co
