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

The cytotoxic activity of two pentacyclic triterpenoids (ursolic acid and alpha-amyrine) isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts from Erica andevalensis, whose structures have been established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence, has been assessed against three human

In order to characterize and study the bioactivities of individual plant species and to determine how these characteristics are modified when preparing blends, five different plant species were selected: Erica australis L., Genista tridentata L., Melissa officinalis L., Mentha spicata L., and

An estrogen receptor immunocytochemical assay (ER-ICA) was applied to 130 malignant breast carcinomas and the results were compared to those of steroid binding assays performed on cytosol extracts of the same tumors. Also laminin (lam) distribution was studied in the same tumors. A semi quantitative

Hypopigmentation diseases are usually managed using UVB light which increases the patients' risk for skin cancer. Here, we evaluated the melanogenesis stimulatory effects of leaf extracts of Erica multiflora, a medicinal plant from the Mediterranean region, and its active component,

This study aimed to assess the dietary patterns of adolescents using a food-based diet quality index and their compliance with a healthy dietary guideline METHODS: Participants included 71,553 Brazilian adolescents (12-17 years old) from the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA), a
