title: [Interpretation of the estrogen receptor content of breast cancer].
abstract: The biochemical analysis of estrogen receptor (ER) content, using the DCC (dextran-coated charcoal) method, was compared with different plotting methods of the estrogen-receptor immunocytochemical assay (ER-ICA) in 80 primary breast cancers including 9 metastases under routine conditions. It was evident, that the determined content of estrogen receptors depends on the technique of measurement, as well as the microscopic organizations of the individual carcinomas and should be interpreted in respect of their content of stroma and if possible of tumour heterogeneity.
