Gender differences in the incidence and behaviour of colon cancer suggest a hormonal
influence and epidemiological data suggest a protective effect for hormone replacement …

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

Background: Previous studies suggest that sex steroids influence colorectal cancer (CRC)
carcinogenesis. The oestrogen receptor β (ERβ) is the predominantly expressed ER in the …

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 …

Objective This study aimed at investigating whether a differential estrogen receptor beta (ER-
β) expression between the colonic subsites could correspond to a modification in …

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 …

BACKGROUND: A pivotal role of oestrogen receptor-beta has been suggested in colon
carcinogenesis in humans. However, few data are available on oestrogen receptor-beta in …

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 …

Background: Altered expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERα and ERβ) has
been hypothesized to play a role in carcinogenesis. However, little is known about the sex …

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