Abstract excerpt
The presence of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is the basis for treating breast cancer patients with targeted molecular therapies that block estrogen stimulation of breast cancer cell division. Currently, the ERalpha presence is determined by microscopically scoring the slides subjected to immunohistochemistry. This method is not quantitative, cannot distinguish between all the known ERalpha isoforms, and...
