Steroid hormone receptors in three human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines and their
transplanted tumors (except nontumorigenic KATO-III) in nude mice were determined by …

Gastric adenocarcinoma that originates from mucosal tissue invades submucosa, muscle,
and serosa in different stages. The level of progesterone receptors (PgR), estrogen …

Expression of sex steroid receptors by gastrointestinal (GI) tumours may indicate a role for
hormonal manipulation in their management. A panel of seven established cell lines derived …

Contents of the progesterone receptors (PgR) and estrogen receptors (ER) in 18 gastric
adenocarcinoma tissues were determined using both the dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) …

Cancerous tissue from 86 patients with primary gastric cancer were examined for the
presence of receptors for estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR). ER and PgR were present …

The effect of hormone therapy on the growth of human colonic adenocarcinoma xenografts
in nude mice was evaluated. Primary xeno-transplantation for ten different human colorectal …

Recent studies suggest that progesterone may possess anti-tumorigenic properties.
However, a growth-modulatory role of progestins in human cancer cells remains obscure …

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 …

The presence of steroid hormone receptors was investigated in rat colonic tumors,
experimentally induced by 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine, and in adjacent normal tissues. Estrogen …

Background This study was done to determine the potential role of sex steroid hormone
receptors in the development of human colorectal cancer. Method Receptors for estrogen …
