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 …

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 …

Abstract Background and Objectives Estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors
(PR) have been detected in both normal and malignant colonic mucosa, but the prognostic …

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 …

Background This study was done to determine the potential role of sex steroid hormone
receptors in the development of human colorectal cancer. Method Receptors for estrogen …

Seventy-two patients with tumor and ten with non-neoplastic colon disease were studied for
the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) by three different methods. Only seven specimens …

The measurement of estrogen as well as progesterone receptors has been applied clinically
to predict the effectiveness of endocrine therapy in patients with breast or endometrial …

Expression of sex steroid receptors by gastrointestinal (GI) tumours may indicate a role for
hormonal manipulation in their management. A panel of seven established cell lines derived …

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 …

The presence of estradiol (E) and progesterone (Pg) receptors (R) has been demonstrated
also in normal and neoplastic tissues known to be hormone-independent and in particular in …
