Molecular identification, expression and prognostic role of estrogen- and progesterone receptors in head and neck cancer
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The aims of this study were to assess the sex hormone receptor status of head and neck (HNC) cancers. Frozen surgical samples (n = 67) of HNC patients were analyzed. Protein expression of estrogen receptor (ER)alpha, ERbeta and progesterone receptor (PgR) of tumor cells was determined by immunocytochemistry. Data were confirmed at mRNA level by nested-PCR and sequencing. ER and PgR expressions confirmed by PCR...
