Prostate carcinoma expression of estrogen receptor-beta as detected by PPG5/10 antibody has positive association with primary Gleason grade and Gleason score.

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to study the expression of estrogen receptor-beta (ER-beta) in prostatic adenocarcinoma and correlate it with Gleason grade and clinical outcome. Immunohistochemical evaluation was performed on prostate needle biopsies from 53 patients (T1-T3pN0M0). ER-beta and ER-alpha transcripts were also studied by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in PC-3 and...
