Abstract
Using a new immunoradiometric assay (ELSA pS2 Cis-France), a total of 200 cytosols obtained from primary breast tumors were examined for pS2 content, which is an estrogen-regulated protein actually studied as a marker of hormone sensitivity and favorable prognostic factor in breast cancer. In our patient group, the median pS2 value corresponding to 5.3 ng/mg of cytosolic proteins was used as cutoff. pS2 content was not related to menopause status, tumor size, or nodal involvement, whereas a positive correlation was found between pS2 and ER/PgR status. Moreover, the association of pS2 with steroid receptors seems to identify subgroups of patients better than ER/PgR alone.Entities:
