Breast weight and hormone receptor status in women with breast cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results Overall the breast weight was higher in patients with ER+ disease. The weight was found to be significantly higher in women aged 50 years or older with ER+ tumours (669 vs. 220 grams, p = 0.015). There was no significant difference in breast weight between ER+ and ERtumours in women aged less than 50 years (median weight: 440 vs.408 grams, p = 0.379). We observed a non-significant association between higher breast weight and PgR positivity (809 vs. 510 grams, p = 0.084) and absence of c-erb B2 (p = 0.088).
