Results In gastric cancer, ER were detected in 62.5% and PR in 75% of the patients. In
colorectal cancer, the ER and PR were detected in 60% of the patients. The binding activity …

Receptors for oestrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) were assayed in tissue from 17
patients with colorectal cancer and five colonic cancer cell lines using enzyme …

Tumors from patients with primary colon cancer were studied for the presence of steroid
hormone receptors for estrogen (E2), progesterone (Prog), dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and …

In this prospective study we have quantified by means of ELISA-methods the cytosolic
content of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) in tumoral tissue and paired …

Androgen, progesterone and estrogen receptors were analyzed in 12 primary colonic
cancers and 16 primary rectal cancers. Androgen and progesterone receptors were positive …

Twenty-four colorectal carcinomas were assayed for estrogen and progestin receptors by
sucrose gradient centrifugation. Most biopsies were either completely estrogen receptor …

Existing data suggest that there is a hormonal basis to the cause of colon cancer. In the
present study, we evaluated the presence of estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone …

Steroid binding assay using the dextran coated charcoal (DCC) method was applied to
human tissues including tumors of the digestive organs, and the results were compared with …

Cancerous tissue from 86 patients with primary gastric cancer were examined for the
presence of receptors for estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR). ER and PgR were present …

Seven cases of colorectal adenocarcinomas were investigated for the presence of
oestrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. The tumours specifically bound oestradiol …
