- Abstract
The article discusses research on increased locoregional (LR) recurrence in patients with only one positive hormone receptor compared with patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive progesterone receptor (PR)-positive disease in very early stage breast cancer. Records of 635 patients with breast cancer who received definitive treatment at their institution between 1997 and 2002 and had archival tissue blocks for prospective assessment of ER/PR expression were reviewed. Results showed higher LR recurrence rates in patients with 1 receptor positive.
