Our previous studies revealed that a subset of mammary ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) contained focally disrupted myoepithelial (ME) cell layers that were predominantly overlain by estrogen receptor (ER) negative cells, which showed a substantially higher rate of cell proliferation and genetic alterations than adjacent ER positive cells within the same duct.
The relationship between oestrogen receptor-alpha phosphorylation and the tumour microenvironment in patients with primary operable ductal breast cancer.
The IMPC patients showed larger tumor size, more lymphatic invasion, higher expression levels of estrogen receptor (ER), increased Ki67 index, higher Jagged1 protein level, and denser infiltration of CD163+ macrophages compared to patients with invasive breast ductal carcinoma.
Here, we show that palbociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, can inhibit both progression of ductal carcinoma <i>in situ</i> (DCIS) and growth of invasive disease in both an ER(-) basal breast cancer model (MCFDCIS) and an ER(+) luminal model (MCF7 intraductal injection).
Relationship between c-erbB-2 oncoprotein, epidermal growth factor receptor, and estrogen receptor expression in patients with ductal breast carcinoma. Association with tumor phenotypes.
Furthermore, correlations between levels of these cytokines and the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in ductal carcinoma were determined.
