[Recommendations for the immunohistochemical evaluation of hormone receptors on paraffin sections of breast cancer. Study Group on Hormone Receptors using Immunohistochemistry FNCLCC/AFAQAP. National Federation of Centres to Combat Cancer/French Association for Quality Assurance in Pathology].
These recommendations regard the immunohistochemical evaluation of estrogen and progesterone receptors in paraffin sections of breast cancers. All the components of the procedure are dealt with: fixation, antigen retrieval, antibodies, controls, analysis and interpretation of immunostaining, report and quality assurance parameters. The purpose of these guidelines is to serve as a basis for standardization of techniques and results and to improve quality control.
