Either ESR1-positive and/or ESR2-low pT1 tumors.Introduction Estrogens influence the aggressiveness of breast cancer through their cognate nuclear receptors. In particular, the estrogen receptor-alpha (ERa) (ESR1) - present in tumor cells of about 70 to 75 of all breast tumors is considered crucial because of its proliferationinducing actions and for that reason is an important target for therap

Apart from breast epithelial tumor cells, ESR2 is also expressed in adjacent infiltrating lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, all of which are known to influence tumor growth [3]. However, its precise role in bre

Tivities of ESR1 and progesterone receptor (PGR) [7]. We also showed that DC-SCRIPT was an independent prognostic factor, particularly for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. This led us to postulate that the anti-proliferative effect of DC-SCRIPT in breast cancer cells could be mediated by simultaneous modulation of the activity of multiple nuclear receptors. To provide a higher level of evi
