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 …

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 …

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 …

Estrogen and progesterone receptors were studied in 70 cases of human colorectal cancer
by a cytochemical technique. 28.5% of the cases were estrogen-receptor positive and 42.8 …

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 …

Adenocarcinomas of the large bowel in 28 consecutive patients were examined for the
presence of estrogen and progestin receptor proteins. None of the specimens showed …

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 oestrogen receptor content of colorectal adenocarcinoma was investigated using an
established ligand binding biochemical assay and two more recently introduced techniques …

• Estrogen receptor protein was found in 24% of colonic neoplasms. Presence of estrogen
receptor activity was independent of age or sex of the patient, state of differentiation or …

Tumor biopsies from a range of human cancers not normally thought to be hormone-
dependent were assayed for the presence of both cytoplasmic and nuclear estrogen …
