title: Expression of estrogen receptors and estrogen-induced proteins in tumors of "hormone non-dependent tissues".
abstract: Estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and some other estrogen-induced proteins (EIP) were found in the cells of salivary gland carcinomas, thyroid carcinomas, in gliomas and in various farther neoplasms as well as in some normal tissues. The positivity was demonstrated in both females and males. The results indicate that steroid hormones and their receptors could play, both in normal and tumorous tissues, more important biological role than expected so far.
