  • Title: [Hormone dependence and steroid receptors in adenocarcinomas of the endometrium].
    Author: Lellouche D, Gairard B, Renaud R.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1987 May; 82(5):325-9. PubMed ID: 3602807.
    Abstract:
    The degree of hormone-dependence of endometrial cancers may be evaluated by the presence and the rate of estradiol and mostly progesterone receptors in an endometrial fragment. The most differentiated tumors have a high receptor content, while anaplastic cancers are most of the time without them. They must be systematically determined regardless of other prognostic factors enabling to evaluate the prognosis and guide the treatment. It is presently facilitated by the method of immunochemical titration on histological section, available for estrogen receptors, disclosing the spatial and functional distribution of hormono-dependent cells.
