Background There is partially conflicting evidence on the influence of the steroid hormones
estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) on the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The aim of …

Although estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors are well recognized as important
prognostic indicators of breast and endometrial cancers, their clinical significance in …

BACKGROUND Steroid hormone receptors are important determinants of prognosis and
predictive behavior in tumor tissues of several origins. Since their role in ovarian cancer is …

Abstract Background and Aims: Although most ovarian cancers express estrogen (ER),
progesterone (PR), and androgen (AR) receptors, they are currently not applied in clinical …

OBJECTIVE: Receptors for estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), or androgen (AR) are
predictive and prognostic markers of malignancy of multiple endocrine organs, including …

Objective Androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor α and β (ERα, ERβ), and progesterone
receptor (PR) are potential therapeutic targets in epithelial ovarian cancer. In this study we …

Estrogen and progesterone are important hormones secreted by the ovary acting through
specific receptors. Tumor tissue expression profiles of these have demonstrated prognostic …

OBJECTIVE: To study the distribution of estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes in ovarian tumors
and to correlate the levels of expression with clinical factors. METHODS: Estrogen receptor …

OBJECTIVE: In this study we investigated the prognostic value of estrogen receptor α (ERα),
ERβ and progesterone receptor (PR) expression in 58 untreated advanced serous ovarian …

Estrogen as a potential factor of ovarian carcinogenesis, acts via two nuclear receptors,
estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), but the cellular signal …
