Our present state of knowledge regarding oestrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PgR, respectively) has led to changes in treatment strategies: patients without receptors in their tumour tissues cannot be expected to respond to endocrine therapy; furthermore, groups of patients with
Our present state of knowledge regarding estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PgR) has led to changes in treatment strategies: patients without receptors in their tumor tissues cannot be expected to respond to endocrine therapy. Furthermore, groups of patients with specifically good or poor
This study was designed to determine whether the presence of progesterone receptors (PR) and/or estradiol receptors (ER) could be used to predict progestin responsiveness of recurrent or advanced endometrial cancers. We have demonstrated the presence of physicochemically similar cytoplasmic
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in human breast cancer tissues was correlated with prolactinemia (Prl), estradiol and progesterone cytosol receptors (ER and PR), and histopathologic pattern. Ninety-two cases of breast cancer, six benign mammary disease, and three normal breast tissues were
Analysis of the S-phase fractions (SPF) measured by in vitro thymidine labeling, morphological appearances, and estrogen receptor (ER) assays of primary invasive breast carcinomas demonstrated several interrelationships. Lobular, mucinous, tubular, and adenocystic carcinomas consistently had low SPF
Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors that account for 3% to 7% of uterine cancers. Their histopathologic classification was revised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2003. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of different subtypes of uterine sarcoma applying the WHO
Plasminogen activator (PA) is a serine protease which exists in two forms: tissue-type (t-PA) and urokinase-type (u-PA). The total PA activity was measured in tumour extracts of 235 breast cancer patients who were followed for a median of 8.5 years after surgery. Patients were initially divided into
The role of antiestrogen treatment of postmenopausal breast cancer patients with high risk of recurrent disease is evaluated in a nationwide, prospective trial conducted by the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG). After total mastectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (RT), 840 patients
Estradiol receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels were measured in 216 endometrial adenocarcinomas. Tumors containing more than 10 fmol/mg protein (for ER) and 20 fmol/mg (for PR) were considered receptor-positive. Tumors were both ER- and PR-positive in 75%. In stage I and II tumors, ER
Three monoclonal antibodies, raised against human milk fat globule membranes, have been applied to 194 primary human breast carcinomas. The detected antigenic sites were found to be heterogeneously distributed. A statistical association with estrogen receptor content and grade of anaplasia was found
OBJECTIVE
Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma of the breast is a histological variant of infiltrating lobular carcinoma with a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the immunohistochemical profile of this distinctive breast carcinoma in comparison with the classical type. The expression
The aim of the present study was to analyze the efficacy of adjuvant tamoxifen (TAM) in postmenopausal patients with high-risk breast cancer. The primary surgical treatment was total mastectomy with axillary sampling. There were 1,650 eligible patients; 829 were randomized to receive postoperative
Groups of female Sprague--Dawley strain rats were given 3 i.v. injections of N-nitrosomethylurea in doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 mg/100 g body weight at 4-week intervals. The first dose was given when they were 50 days old. By 23 weeks after the first injection, mammary tumors had developed in 0,
Ninety-one patients with Stage I and II endometrial carcinoma were investigated. Biopsy material obtained prior to primary treatment was analyzed for contents of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptors, and the values of these were related to the degree of malignancy. ER content in the
For more than 40 yr, an unusual urinary bladder lesion has been known to occur in certain strains of mice, but no consensus has been obtained regarding its etiology, pathogenesis, biology, or classification. The lesion was first assumed to be epithelial and non-neoplastic, then it was called a
