Estrogen receptors have been found in normal and neoplastic gastrointestinal mucosa. The
aim of our study was to verify whether the content of cytosolic estrogen receptor in normal …

This study has tested the hypothesis that comparison of protein and mRNA expression for
ERα and ERβ1 by human breast cancers provides novel information relating to the clinical …

Background Oestrogen receptors (ER) have a well-established role to the initiation,
progression and regulation of responses to treatment of breast, prostate, and lung cancers …

Observational epidemiologic studies and randomized trials have reported a protective effect
of oral hormonal replacement therapy on risk of colorectal cancer. Only one previous …

Background The presence of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and estrogen receptor β (ERβ) have
been reported in cell and tissue level in gastric cancer, but its impact on patients' survival …

Background Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) has been repeatedly suggested to play important
roles in hormone-dependent cancer like in tumors of the breast, ovary or prostate. In this …

Background Oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) modulates ERα activity; wild type ERβ (ERβ1)
and its splice variants may therefore impact on hormone responsiveness of breast cancer …

The estrogen receptor (ER)-β isoform has been recently identified to be distinct from ERα
isoform and regulates separate sets of genes, and can exert opposite signaling functions …

Epidemiological studies of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy show a reduction
in the risk of developing colon cancer, and animal studies using 17β-oestradiol (E2) …

The protective role of estrogens in the colon carcinogenesis has been suggested for many
years and attributed mainly to estrogen receptor beta (ERβ). However, the direct effect of …
