Estrogen and progesterone receptors were determined in 56 cases of primary cervical carcinoma tissue by histochemical methods. 42.86% of the 56 cases were ER positive and 46.43% PR positive. No correlation was found between ER and PR status and age, menopausal status of the patient and clinical stage. Adenocarcinoma had significantly higher ER and PR positive rate than squamous carcinoma. Highly differentiated carcinoma had higher ER and PR positive rate than middle- and dedifferentiated carcinoma. A positive correlation between ER and PR and cellular infiltration of stroma and peritumoral reaction of fibrin was found. The patients with ER and PR positive had a significantly higher 5-year survival. ER and PR may be used as prognostic factors in cervical carcinoma.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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. Estrogen Receptor,Estrogen Receptors,Estrogen Nuclear Receptor,Estrogen Receptor Type I,Estrogen Receptor Type II,Estrogen Receptors Type I,Estrogen Receptors Type II,Receptor, Estrogen Nuclear,Receptors, Estrogen, Type I,Receptors, Estrogen, Type II,Nuclear Receptor, Estrogen,Receptor, Estrogen
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.
