Estrogen receptor negative/progesterone receptor positive breast cancer is not a reproducible subtype
(BioMed Central, 2013)Introduction: Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) testing are performed in the evaluation of breast cancer. While the clinical utility of ER as a predictive biomarker to identify patients likely to benefit ... -
Estrogen-dependent signaling in a molecularly distinct subclass of aggressive prostate cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Background The majority of prostate cancers harbor gene fusions of the 5'-untranslated region of the androgen-regulated transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) promoter with erythroblast transformation-specific transcription ... -
Estrogens and breast cancer
(Instituto Nacional de Salud P�blica, 1997)In this review, we summarize the epidemiologic evidence for the associations of oral contraceptives and postmenopausal hormones with risk of breast cancer. We also describe the biologic plausibility of these relationships. ... -
