Progesterone antagonists (PAs) (antiprogestins) or progesterone receptor modulators (PRMs) form an interesting category of new hormonal agents in the treatment of breast cancer. In vitro, antiproliferative effects of different PAs are mainly observed in estrogen-stimulated growth of PR-positive tumo
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
