Abstract excerpt
Expression of estrogen receptor exon 5 splicing variant (ER-E5SV) mRNA contributes to dominant positive properties and metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. Therefore, in endometriotic endometria, which conserve implantation and tumor-like spreading potentials, the expression of ER-E5SV and estrogen receptor wild type (ER-WT) mRNA was analyzed, to investigate the biological implications. Estrogen...
