In breast cancer, primary tumor size (T), the number of lymph node metastases (#N), the biochemical estrogen (ER), and progesterone (PGR) receptor status have all been important prognostic variables. We evaluated the significance of the immunocytochemical measurement of estrogen receptors suing the

Oestrogen receptor status has been determined by an immunocytochemical assay using fine-needle aspiration samples of primary breast cancers in elderly patients. In a prospective study 56 patients were treated with tamoxifen only. Satisfactory assays were achieved in 49 patients. Disease was

Estrogen receptor (ER) status is an accepted prognostic indicator for breast cancer when measured by either the biochemical or immunohistochemical (ERICA) methods. Moreover, ERICA was found to be a better predictor of survival in human breast cancer than the biochemical assay for ER. The antibody to

To study the basic relationships between estrogen receptor immunocytochemical assay (ERICA) and dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) techniques, 116 women affected by breast cancer were admitted to the study from June 1985. In 56% of cases the tumor sample came from patients with operable disease and in
