Popis: The predictive value of the (ER) estrogen receptor assay with regard to the response to hormonal treatment was analyzed in women with advanced breast carcinoma. The significance of clinical variables of putative prognostic value was also investigated. A total of 49 courses of endocrine therapy were available for study. The respective merits of using the receptor information as a qualitative or a quantitative variable were compared. Linear logistic regression analysis showed that the quantitative information was significantly related to the therapeutic response (P
