Abstract

In human steroid sensitive tissue, progesterone receptors (PRs) and estrogen receptors (ERs) have been demonstrated at the mRNA and/or protein levels by using molecular biology and immunohistochemistry techniques. Estrogen and progesterone receptors are present both in endometrial hyperplasia and in neoplastic endometrium. The aim of the present work was to compare the expression of ER and PR as prognostic biomarkers in human endometrial adenocarcinoma versus benign tumors and normal endometrial tissues as well as their correlation with different pathological and histological parameters. Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine the expression of ER and PR in normal, benign as well as in endometrial adenocarcinoma. Present results showed higher expression of ER and PR in endometrial adenocarcinoma comparing to normal and benign endometrial tissues.
