Hormonal treatment of pancreatic carcinoma: a phase II study of LHRH agonist goserelin plus hydrocortisone.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inconsistencies between mitotic index (MI) and Ki67 measures have been identified in many breast tumour samples. The aim of this study was to describe the prognosis of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) HER2- tumours having discrepant MI and Ki67. METHODS:We included a cohort of breast cancer patients initiall...
