  • Title: Estradiol and progesterone receptors in gynecologic sarcomas.
    Author: Lantta M, Kärkkäinen J, Wahlström T, Widholm O.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1984; 63(6):505-8. PubMed ID: 6507052.
    Abstract:
    We report the concentrations of estradiol and progesterone receptors found in the tumor tissue of 5 patients with leiomyosarcoma, 4 of uterine and one of ventricular origin, and of 5 patients with uterine or ovarian carcinosarcoma. Steroid receptor positive and negative tumors were present in both groups of sarcoma. One uterine leiomyosarcoma had a high concentration of estradiol and progesterone receptors, 37 fmoles/mg protein and 156 fmoles/mg protein, respectively. We suggest that steroid receptors should be analysed in all gynecologic sarcomas.
