title: Expression of aromatase, estrogen receptors, and their coactivators in patients with endometrial cancer.
abstract: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of a panel of normal and malignant endometrial tissues revealed significant expression of both aromatase and estrogen receptor alpha in low-grade tumors, suggesting that local estrogen synthesis and action might contribute to the proliferation of these tumors.
