Abstract
Work on the receptor status of human malignant breast tumours has passed from an initial qualitative stage to the realization that quantitative aspects may be of clinical importance [12, 15]. Estimates of receptor site concentrations depend not only on the chemical analytical technique used but also on the method of calculation [4, 5, 13, 17]. Several approaches to the mathematical analysis of receptor data can be considered and recent work has shown that accuracy may be improved by the use of techniques not previously applied to receptor assays [4, 5,13].
