Prognostic factors in pediatric spinal cord astrocytoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Historically, estrogen receptor (ER) determinations have been made by the ligand-binding assay of tumor homogenates, primarily by the dextran-coated charcoal method (DCC). Immunocytochemical assays (ICA) for ER are more recent and have been executed mostly on frozen sections with the monoclonal antibody H222...
