Abstract

Clinical, pathological feature and steroid hormone receptors (SR) including receptors of estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and androgen (AR) were observed in 58 cases of breast carcinoma, and related to patient 5-year survival rate through stratification and multivariate analysis. The results showed that histologic tumor type and grading, lymphnode status, ER value and patient age took more important role in patient survival, and SR, especially, conferred survival advantage in advanced cases with tumor size larger than 2 cm, node involved, or TNM Stage II–III.
