Ator of nuclear receptors, we explored its prognostic value in relation to estrogen-receptor-a (ESR1) and -b (ESR2) and evaluated its predictive value for response to tamoxifen treatment. Methods: DC-SCRIPT mRNA levels were measured by real-time PCR in 1,505 primary invasive breast cancers and associated with outcome (disease-free survival (DFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival

Nd multivariable analysis higher DC-SCRIPT levels were associated with a favorable outcome for both the entire cohort and patients with lymph node-negative (LNN) disease that did not receive adjuvant therapy (DFS, MFS and OS; all, P
E positively associated with tumor grade and ESR1, PGR, and ESR2 steroid hormone receptor expression level and negatively associated with invasive epithelial tumor cell content and tumor size. In addition, ESR2 was more highly expressed in tumors with a higher percentage of stromal cells (786 tumors with 30 to 70 invasive epithelial cells), and ESR1 wasSieuwerts et al.

The Reporting Recommendations for Tumor Marker Prognostic Studies guidelines [11]. The primary breast tumors were from patients with detailed clinical follow-up as previously described [12-14]. ER protein status was determined by routine ligand-binding assays or enzyme immunoassays [15], and ESR1, ESR2, and PGR mRNA status wasTissue processing, RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, and quantitative RT-PC
