Estrogen receptor-alpha expression in human meningiomas - 0 views

Nathan Goodyear on 05 Feb 13This is a dissertation, but they found ER alpha expression in all meningioma samplings. This is in contrast to previous studies. As further research has come with meningiomas, more ER presence is found, likely due to improved testing techniques. What is interesting here is that Low/no PR status was associated with Increased ER alpha status. This has been shown to be a more pro-inflammatory/pro-growth picture in disease states, such as breast and prostate CA.
