[OEstradiol and progesterone steroid hormone receptors in cancer of the endometrium. The significance of the progesterone receptor (author's transl)]. / Les récepteurs hormonaux stéroïdiens de l'estradiol et de la progestérone dans les cancers de l'endomètre. Signification du récepteur de la progestérone.

ABSTRACT

PIP: This study investigates the frequency of the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the different anatomopathological types of endometrial cancer. The study has been conducted on cancerous tissues samples before and after hormonotherapy. From a clinical point of view it is very important to know that, at least apparently, the best results are obtained when both estrogen and progesterone receptors are present in the cancerous tissues.
