Prognostic relevance of hormonal and kinetic parameters in CNS neoplasms.
With the present study we investigated both the presence of cytoplasmic estrogen (E-Rc) and progesterone (P-Rc) receptor, nuclear E-R (E-Rn) and the percentage of cycling tumor cells with Ki-67 MAB in 32 CNS tumor specimens. The main purpose of our study was to evaluate a possible correlation between the hormonal and kinetic parameters and the clinical and neuroradiological follow-up.
