To determine the potential role of sex steroid hormones in the development of colorectal
tumors in humans, specific androgen (AR), estrogen (ER), and progesterone (PGR) …

Tumors from patients with primary colon cancer were studied for the presence of steroid
hormone receptors for estrogen (E2), progesterone (Prog), dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and …

Background Sex steroid hormones influence function of the human gastrointestinal tract.
Although the specific receptor proteins have been identified in surgical specimens of both …

Androgen, progesterone and estrogen receptors were analyzed in 12 primary colonic
cancers and 16 primary rectal cancers. Androgen and progesterone receptors were positive …

Sex hormones may play a role in colonic carcinogenesis, as evidenced by epidemiologic
and experimental data showing different tumor rates in males and females. We investigated …

To evaluate the potential effect of androgens on human colorectal cancer, the prevalence
and concentration of cytosolic androgen receptors were analyzed in 23 rectal and 13 cecal …

Data on androgen receptor (AR) status of nontumoral and malignant human colorectal
tissues are compared using ligand binding assay in 22 patients who underwent surgery for …
