Estrogen and progesterone receptor analyses in more than 4000 human breast cancer samples : A study with special reference to age at diagnosis and stability of analyses
Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were measured in the same laboratory in more than 4000 breast cancer biopsy samples obtained from 15 different hospitals during ten years.
