Use of Estrogen Receptor Protein as an Aid in Diagnosis

Sharon Grundfest, MD; Ezra Steiger, MD; Bruce Sebek, MD

Arch Surg. 1978;113(9):1108-1109.

Abstract
• In a patient with nonpalpable carcinoma of the breast, the diagnosis from a metastatic axillary node was made by measuring estrogen receptor protein (ERP). The specificity of the technique makes it useful as a diagnostic aid in a patient with mammogram negative for tumor.
