An immunocytochemical assay for the measurement of estrogen receptor (ER-ICA; Abbott Diagnostics) has been evaluated in 163 human breast carcinomas. Specific binding was observed in the nuclei of 111 of 163 (68%) tumors. An excellent correlation was observed between the ER-ICA and the estrogen receptor enzyme immunoassay. A significant relationship was observed between ER-ICA status and percentage of ER-ICA negative cells, histological grade of malignancy, and mitotic activity of the tumors. A significant correlation was also observed between ER-ICA status and age at mastectomy with 50% of patients with ER-ICA positive breast tumors presenting with their disease over 60 years of age. No association was observed with either tumor size or patient nodal status. Examination of the proportion of negative cells within tumors revealed a trend for the acquisition of poor prognostic features to be associated with an increase in the negative cell population. Data on the recurrence free interval of these patients showed a significant recurrence free advantage in ER-ICA positive patients, particularly those whose tumors contained low numbers of negative cells.
