Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors as Prognostic Factors in Early Breast Cancer

  • Chapter
Clinical Interest of Steroid Hormone Receptors in Breast Cancer

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 91))

Abstract

During the past 10 years, steroid receptors in human breast tumors have been extensively investigated in many laboratories. The initial aim of this clinical research was to help in selecting patients with metastasis for hormonal treatment.

This work was supported in part by the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (ATP 24-75-47) and CRAT (76-4-490) and the Fédération Française des Centres de Lutte contre le Cancer
