Human breast carcinomas were evaluated for estrogen and progesterone receptors by
immunohistochemistry using monoclonal anti-receptor antibodies (n= 267) and by cytosol …

Epidemiological and experimental evidence support a role for sex steroid hormones in
colorectal cancer. The aims of this study were to determine expression of oestrogen receptor …

A simple method for the assay of specific progesterone receptors in breast cancer tissue is
described. Progesterone receptors were detected in 63 of 74 breast cancer specimens …

The cytoplasmic concentrations of ER, AR, PR, and GR were determined in 124 specimens
of normal and abnormal endometrium and other uterine human tissues by the DCC …

An immunocytochemical assay for the estrogen receptor has been used to analyze the
receptor content in tumor cells obtained by fine needle aspiration from human breast …

The specific estrogen receptor in the cytosol of human breast cancer tissue was assayed in
217 primary cases. The specific progesterone receptor was also assayed in 48 cases as …
