We have measured by a radioenzymatic assay the thymidine kinase in the cytosol of 182 primary infiltrating breast cancers. Maximal follow-up is 95 months. Thymidine kinase was found to be related to SBR grade, tumour size and absence of oestradiol receptors (RE). Univariate analysis has pointed out a significant linkage between overall or metastase free survival and thymidine kinase, using a cut-off level of 80 mU/mg protein which is the most discriminating value. Thymidine kinase appeared to be particularly useful in lymph-node-positive, RE-negative and grade 3 patients. Multivariate analysis of the overall survival and of the metastase free survival (Cox model) revealed that they were strongly related to thymidine kinase status.

D011959 Receptors, Estradiol Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estradiol, migrate to the nucleus, and regulate DNA transcription. Estradiol Receptors,Estradiol Receptor,Receptor, Estradiol
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.
