Thyroid carcinomas no longer accessible to radio-iodide or TSH-suppressive T4 therapy, due to loss of thyroid-specific functions, might be sufficiently re-differentiated by retinoic acid (RA) to be treated by conventional methods again. To help evaluate the feasibility of RA re-differentiation thera

To understand the expression and role of thyroid hormone nuclear receptors (TRs) in hepatocarcinogenesis, we characterized the TRs in 16 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens. The full-length cDNAs for the two TR subtypes, a1 and b1, were cloned from several tumors by reverse transcriptionΒ±
Tumors from patients with primary colon cancer were studied for the presence of steroid hormone receptors for estrogen (EJ, progesterone (Prog), dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and glucocorticoid. Ten of 33 (30%) tumors contained high affinity E2 receptors. Four were males and six females with positive as
