1 Endocrine therapy for advanced carcinoma of the breast: relationship between the effect of tamoxifen upon concentrations of progesterone receptor and subsequent response to treatment. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
2 In some cell lines and tumors of mammary origin, tamoxifen causes an increase of progesterone receptor (PR) as a result of its partial estrogen agonist activity. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
3 In some cell lines and tumors of mammary origin, tamoxifen causes an increase of progesterone receptor (PR) as a result of its partial estrogen agonist activity. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
4 In this study we have assessed the effect of tamoxifen on PR in patients with advanced carcinoma of the breast in order to test if those with a rise in PR are more likely to respond to endocrine therapy. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
5 In this study we have assessed the effect of tamoxifen on PR in patients with advanced carcinoma of the breast in order to test if those with a rise in PR are more likely to respond to endocrine therapy. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
6 The controls without tamoxifen showed a marked variation in the level of PR in the first and second biopsies, suggesting heterogeneity of PR across the tumors studied. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
7 However, the PR level was significantly higher in the second biopsy in the controls given tamoxifen and in the test group compared with those with no intervening treatment (p = 0.031). Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
8 This study indicates that some effect of tamoxifen upon PR can be demonstrated in human mammary tumors in vivo and that, by taking a second biopsy for PR estimation during treatment with tamoxifen, a more precise indication of subsequent response is obtained. Tamoxifen progesterone receptor Homo sapiens
9 This study indicates that some effect of tamoxifen upon PR can be demonstrated in human mammary tumors in vivo and that, by taking a second biopsy for PR estimation during treatment with tamoxifen, a more precise indication of subsequent response is obtained.
