Quality control for the immunohistochemical demonstration of oestrogen and progesterone receptors.
It is now almost 40 years since it was first shown that oestrogenic hormones exert their actions through combination with specific receptor proteins. Subsequently, endocrine responsive breast cancers were shown to contain increased amounts of these oestrogen receptors (ER). There is almost worldwide acceptance that the measurement of oestrogen and progesterone (PR) receptors provides valuable i...
متن کاملOestrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptors in ovarian neoplasia: correlation between immunohistochemical and biochemical receptor analyses
Aim—To investigate the correlation between immunohistochemical and biochemical steroid receptor analyses by measurement of oestrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptor status in ovarian neoplasia. Methods—Tissue samples were obtained from 27 ovarian neoplasms, including two borderline tumours. Immunohistochemical staining of the tissue slides was scored semiquantitatively, incorporating the i...

متن کاملThe role of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer – immunohistochemical evaluation of oestrogen and progesterone receptor expression in invasive breast cancer in women
AIM OF THE STUDY Expression of oestrogen and progesterone receptors is a very powerful and useful predictor. Because the response rate to hormonal treatment in breast cancer is associated with the presence of oestrogen and progesterone receptors, assessment of the receptor expression profile allows for prediction of breast cancer response to hormonal treatment. The aim of this study was to asse...
متن کاملCiliated cyst of the vulva: oestrogen and progesterone receptors.
Sir, Cases of cutaneous cysts lined by ciliated epithelium have rarely been documented, and only a few cases of such cysts in the vulvar vestibulae have been reported (1–3). The origin of the cysts is controversial because the location is so anatomically specific. In this report, we describe a 14-year-old girl with a ciliated cyst of the vulva (CCV), the lining cells of which were positive for ...
