Abstract:
PURPOSE:The methodology we propose combines the immunohistochemical determination of the oestrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PgR) with the characterization of the oestradiol- and progesterone-induced influence on cell proliferation in breast cancers in order to characterize their steroid hormone sensitivity at both the "static" and "dynamic" level. METHODS:ER and PgR have been immunohistochemically quantified by means of computer-assisted microscopy. Cell proliferation has been determined by means of tritiated thymidine autoradiography in tumour samples maintained in vitro as organotypic cultures. A series of 14 patients was investigated. RESULTS:Of the 14 breast cancers under study, one with an unequivocally "very ER-rich"/"very PgR-rich" immunohistochemical phenotype totally failed to exhibit any modification in its cell proliferation level after both oestradiol and progesterone stimulation. Two cases definitively associated with an "ER-poor"/"PgR-poor" immunohistochemical phenotype nevertheless responded noticeably to the dynamic stimulation of their cell proliferation by oestradiol and progesterone. While our series of cases covers 14 patients only, it suffices to demonstrate the limits of ER and PgR determination in characterizing steroid hormone sensitivity in breast cancer. DISCUSSION:The present work therefore presents an in vitro approach to test growth regulation of human breast cancer by steroid hormones. The clinical value of the present approach should be further determined by showing that steroid hormone-induced modifications in cell proliferation level are actually associated with clinical response.
