OBJECTIVE To investigate estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels in imprint specimens obtained at breast surgery and to compare their correlation with that of standard methods. METHODS Imprint specimens for cytology were obtained from 101 mass-forming lesions in 66 patients, and specimens were frozen in liquid nitrogen for later assay. The imprint specimens were immunocytochemically (ICC) stained by monoclonal antibody to ER or PR; diaminobenzidine-stained cell nuclei in clusters were regarded as positive. Tissue specimens were assayed by the standard method of dextran-coated charcoal assay (DCC) and enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS Forty-five primary breast cancer lesions, 2 contralateral breast cancer, 49 dissected nodes and 5 benign breast lesions were collected. The correlation between DCC and ICC was 81% (82/101) for ER and 74% (66/101) for PR. That between EIA and ICC was 88% (88/99) for ER and 80% (79/100) for PR, higher than that between DCC and ICC for ER and PR. CONCLUSIONS ICC assessment of ER or PR on imprint cytology is a promising clinical test with an acceptable correlation.

D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.
