Estradiol receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) were assayed in tumors from 20
patients with primary colorectal cancer. Ten of 20 tumors contained high affinity sites for 17β …

Thirty adenomas of the large bowel, removed from 15 females and 15 males, were
examined for the presence of estrogen receptor protein. The finding of positive binding …

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 …

Twenty-five colonic cancer tissues were studied for the presence of estrogen and
progesterone receptors (ER, PR) and the distribution of immunoreactive carcinoembryonic …

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 …

The localization of endogenous estrogen was examined in 37 specimens from colorectal
cancer tissue and 28 specimens from adenomatous polyp tissue in the colon and rectum by …

Estradiol and progesterone receptors were assayed in tumors from 79 patients with primary
colorectal and 56 patients with stomach adenocarcinomas. Eighteen of 79 colorectal …

Recently there have been several reports documenting the presence of estrogen receptors
(ERs) in human gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, raising the possibility that these cancers …

We examined the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) messenger RNAs (ER-α, ER-β, and
ER-β isoforms) in colorectal tumor samples and corresponding normal mucosa, paying …
