## BACKGROUND. The techniques for immunostaining estrogen receptor (ER) in cytologic specimens have varied, as have the detection rates. The authors compared various fixation methods for their effect on ER detection in cytologic smears of breast carcinoma. ## METHODS. Smears were prepared by ge
The aim of this study was to establish the role of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) as prognostic indicators for early recurrence and survival. In all, among breast cancer patients, 166 patients who had undergone radical or extended radical mastectomy were studied. These patien
## BACKGROUND. In cervical lesions, the overexpression of p16 is reported to be closely associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The objective of the current study was to confirm the usefulness of liquid-based cervical specimens for p16 staining as well as tissue sections.
