Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is the predominant ER in the colorectal epithelium. Compared
with normal colon tissue, ERβ expression is reduced in colorectal cancer. Our hypothesis is …

Several strands of evidence indicate that oestrogens exert a protective role against the
development of colon cancer through indirect and direct effects on colonic epithelium …

Several studies suggest estrogen to be protective against the development of colon cancer.
Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is the predominant estrogen receptor expressed in colorectal …

Estrogen receptor (ER) β counteracts the activity of ERα in many systems. In agreement with
this, we show in this study that induced expression of ERβ in the breast cancer cell line …

AIM: To determine the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) β in Chinese colorectal
carcinoma (CRC) patients. METHODS: ERβ expression in CRC was investigated by …

Oestrogen Receptor β (ERβ) may protect against prostate and mammary cell proliferation
and malignant transformation. Epidemiological studies indicate that oestrogens may reduce …

Colon cancer incidence and mortality rates are lower in females compared with males, and
numerous epidemiological studies suggest that estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) …

Epidemiological data suggest a protective effect for estrogen replacement therapy on colon
cancer. The estrogen receptor (ER) is required for the action of estrogen. The ER-β isoform …

Estrogens have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancer types, including
colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Estrogen receptors such as ERα and ERβ activate intracellular …

Estrogen receptor β (ER-β) has recently been detected in a human colon cancer cell line.
The aim of this work was to determine whether ER-β is expressed in human colorectal …
